Pasta with Peas and Bacon by Katherine

Bacon and peas have a natural flavor affinity that comes out in this simple recipe. Perfect for a weeknight or company, it comes together quickly and is packed with flavor. Vegetarians could even substitute veggie bacon, and the health conscious can opt for turkey bacon.

cottage cheesy noodles by Erin Bergman
