PASTA WITH PEAS AND BACON
Pasta with peas and bacon is an easy and delicious pasta dinner recipe and a great way to use that bag of peas in your freezer. We make ours with healthy yogurt, lots of peas, a squeeze of lemon, and just enough bacon so this recipe feels like a treat.

Steps:
- Heat a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pot. If there are more than 2 tablespoons of oil in the pot, remove the extra. If there is less, add a little olive oil.
- Add the onion and garlic and cook until they are soft and begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock, thyme, and chili flakes to the pot and bring to a boil. Add the pasta, stir, then cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring the pasta twice while it cooks.
- After 10 minutes there should still be a little liquid left in the bottom of the pot. Add the peas and stir. Add the yogurt, lemon zest, and lemon juice and stir one more time. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and oil.
- To cook peas, either add them to the pasta pot in the final 1 minute of pasta cooking time, or simply place them in the bottom of the colander through which you'll pour out the boiling pasta water to drain the pasta after cooking (the peas will heat through perfectly from the boiling pasta water draining over them).
- Reserve about 1/2 cup pasta cooking water prior to draining the pasta.
- Drain pasta and set pasta and peas aside briefly, keeping them warm.
- Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring frequently, about 5-10 minutes. Remove bacon from the pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add olive oil to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook garlic in the olive oil for about 30-60 seconds, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn, just until the garlic is softened and fragrant. Immediately remove from heat and pour the garlic-oil into a large serving bowl.
- Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the garlic-oil and whisk to thoroughly combine.
- Add hot pasta and peas to the lemon-garlic-oil mixture and stir thoroughly.
- Add reserved bacon, parmesan cheese, and basil to the pasta mixture, and stir again.
- Loosen if needed with reserved pasta cooking water. (Sometimes we don't need this at all, but sometimes a little pasta cooking water helps to loosen the consistency perfectly.)
