Jamie's bacon mint and peas
Ingredients
25 gram butter
10 slice streaky bacon -- chopped
300 gram frozen peas
1 bunch fresh mint -- finely chopped leaves
150 gram parmesan -- grated
400 gram pasta -- shells or other shape
1 carton creme fraiche -- small tub
1 lemon -- juiced
Directions
- Prepare the pasta, start it cooking in salted water.
- In the meantime, melt the butter in a large, high-sided frying pan and add a glug of olive oil. Fry the bacon, sprinkled liberally with black pepper, until the bacon is golden and crisp.
- Add the frozen peas and give the pan a good shake. After a minute or so add the creme fraiche and chopped mint leaves.
- Drain the pasta when it is ready, retaining some of the cooking water. Stir the pasta into the pan.
- Add the parmesan and any of the retained pasta water if needed, and then add the lemon juice to taste.
