INGREDIENTS

  • Pasta

    • 8 ounces farfalle pasta
  • Protein

    • 3 strips bacon
  • Fats and Oils

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Vegetables

    • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
    • 🧅 1 small onion, diced
    • 3/4 cup peas
  • Seasoning and Aromatics

    • 3 cloves garlic
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cheese

    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Garnishes

    • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

STEPS

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add farfalle and cook until tender with a bite, about 11 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water to thin the sauce later if needed.

2

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon; cook, turning occasionally, until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel to drain. When cool enough to handle, crumble and set aside. Remove bacon grease from skillet.

3

Heat oil and butter in the skillet over medium heat; add mushrooms and onions. Cook until onions are translucent and the moisture in mushrooms is starting to evaporate, 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4

Stir in garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

5

Reduce heat to low, stir in half-and-half, peas, and thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until peas are heated through and sauce has started to thicken, 3 to 4 minutes. If sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to thin.

6

Stir in lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, garnish with crumbled bacon and chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
