1. Cook the pasta according to packet instructions. Meanwhile, fry the bacon in 1 tbsp oil for around 5-6 minutes until crisp and golden. Scoop out and drain on kitchen roll.
2. Fry the garlic and peas in the bacon oil for a few minutes then add the lemon juice, drained pasta and bacon. Serve in bowls with parmesan shavings.

Recipe Extra

You can use pancetta cubes instead of bacon or substitute a good handful of sliced mushrooms instead for a vegetarian alternative.

  This was tasty although I didn't have any lemon juice so as suggested above just added a little creme fraiche and it was scrummy. I think it would be nice with just the lemon juice too and will try that. Really quick and simple for a novice like me and after a busy day.
