Peas And Pasta Presto

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. While waiting for water to boil, grate cheese and chop onion. Drop in pasta when water reaches a rapid boil.

2. 2

   While pasta cooks (about 10 minutes), prepare bacon on top of stove or in the broiler. While bacon is cooking, warm olive oil in a small heated skillet. Cook onion until soft and translucent.

3. 3

   Drain hot pasta and pour into serving bowl. Stir in cheese, onion, basil, and peas. Crumble in 6 strips of bacon and mix gently; reserve 1 strip for garnish. Add salt and pepper as desired. Top with extra Parmesan and last strip of crumbled bacon. Serve immediately.

4. 4

   Variation: Use soy bacon for less fat.

5. 5

   Note: Parmesan cheese and bacon tend to be salty, so you may not need much salt to season this dish.
