Peas, Bacon And Penne Pasta Salad

(From Our September 2023 Newsletter)

Ingredients

1. 6 or 7 slices thick sliced Bacon, cut into 1 inch slices


2. 1 cup frozen peas*


3. 1 medium yellow onion, chopped


4. ¼ cup heavy cream


5. 1 TBSP olive oil


6. Salt and Pepper

In a large pot, boil Penne pasta to an al dente state.  (Almost done but not mushy.)

About halfway through cooking it, add the frozen peas.

Drain.

Add olive oil to large skillet.  Fry bacon and onion in the olive oil until it‘s done, but not overly crispy.

Lower the heat to medium and add the pasta and peas, stirring to mix then, slowly stir in the heavy cream.

Add salt and pepper to taste and give it a good stir.  Serve hot, straight from the skillet.

This is an awesome side dish or it can even be a meal by itself!

*Frozen broccoli can be used as a substitute for those who don‘t prefer peas.  You can also add a small can of diced carrots at the end, just before serving.
