Method

  1. Fry the lardons or bacon in the oil in a large, deep frying pan for 1 min. Pour in the Vermouth and allow to bubble up. Meanwhile, put a large pan of salted water on to boil, add the fresh tagliatelle, then cook according to pack instructions.
  2. Tip the peas in with the bacon, then pour in 100ml water, the stock and crème fraîche. Stir well, then add the tarragon, lettuce and spring onions. Cover the pan and cook for 3-5 mins until the lettuce is tender, but not wilted. Drain the pasta when ready, then add to the pan and toss together until well mixed.

    Very good, and easy to make, although I used frozen peas and dried tagliatelle. I also fried the lardons for longer than a minute so as to crisp them up.

    I used dry wine instead of vermouth and left out the gem lettuce and it was still delicious. Very easy too.

    Just made this without the tarragon, was superb. Used frozen peas, pancetta cubettes instead of lardons and white wine instead of vermouth. All good!
