Name: Spring Vegetable Pasta With A Hint Of Bacon
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 pieces bacon; 2 pieces garlic scrape, chopped into small pieces (use 1 T chopped shallot and 1 t chopped garlic if scrapes aren't available); 1 cup spring (or pearl) onions, peeled & halved; 3/4 cup chicken or vegetable stock; 1 sprig fresh tarragon; 1 cup fresh peas; 1/4 cup creme fraiche; 2 tablespoons finely grated parmigiano reggiano; 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice; 6 ounces angel hair pasta or thin spaghetti, cooked al dente

Servings: persons

1
In a deep skillet, cook your bacon until crisp. Remove from skillet and set aside. Drain all but 1/2 teaspoon of bacon grease from the skillet. Allow skillet to cool to medium.
2
Add olive oil and garlic scrapes. Saute for 3 - 4 minutes.
3
Add chicken stock and spring onion and bring to a low simmer. Allow onions to cook as the stock reduces by about half.
4
Add fresh peas and tarragon sprig and simmer for 3 - 5 minutes (Fresh peas won't take long! Allow a couple more minutes if you have to use frozen.)
5
Stir in creme fraiche and parmigiano reggiano. You can also add 1/4 cup of the cooking water from your pasta if you like a thinner sauce at this point.
6
Remove tarragon. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon over the skillet and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Toss with pasta and sprinkle crumbled bacon over the top.
