INGREDIENTS | Serves 5

12 large rashes of bacon (roughly 300g)

Ready a pot of water with salt. 

Chop the bacon into pieces, fry in a hot pan until just crispy. Remove the bacon and then add the onion and cook this in the oil from the bacon add some pepper & lemon zest. 

Get the pasta cooking. Once the onion has been cooking for 5 mins add the garlic and lemon juice and stir. 

At this point add the bacon back to the pan. Add in the frozen peas and mix everything together for a couple of minutes. 

Reserve a cup of pasta water. 

Stir in the creme fraiche to the peas and bacon. Add the drained pasta and as much of the pasta water as required. Fold in the remaining parsley and serve immediately with a wedge of lemon on each plate.
