Ingredients
- 4 rashers bacon, trimmed of rind
- 2 Tbsp oil
- 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup cream
- 1 cup Wattie's frozen Baby Peas
- 400g pkt fresh egg fettuccini pasta
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan or cheddar cheese
Method
1. Finely slice or dice the bacon. Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the onions and bacon. Cook over a moderate heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the onion and bacon are soft and lightly coloured but not burnt.
2. Add the chicken stock, cream and Wattie’s frozen Baby Peas and simmer ever so gently for about 5 minutes while cooking the pasta.
3. Have a large saucepan full of boiling water and add the salt. Add the fresh fettuccini pasta and stir well with a spoon or fork to separate the pasta strips. Boil rapidly for 4-5 minutes until the pasta is cooked. Drain well and return to the saucepan.
4. Pour over the hot sauce and sprinkle over the Parmesan or cheddar cheese. Ladle quickly onto pasta bowls to serve.
Serve with crusty bread and a tomato salad if wished.
