Made this up the other night from what was ready in the garden and what was in the fridge, it was so good and simple that I thought I'd share it with you! Don't ask me about quantities, it's all rough and you can easily add more or less of something according to taste. Makes a lovely quick supper dish.
Serves 2
Shell some fresh peas, about a cupful is fine. In a frying pan, chop half an onion or 3-4 shallots finely and sweat slowly on a low heat until almost going brown. In the meantime, put your pasta of choice on to boil - I made this with twists 'cos that's what I had in the cupboard but I think it would work with anything. Cook it according to the instructions. In the frying pan, add 2-3 rashers of bacon cut into strips and fry on a medium heat until the bacon and onion are browned and the bacon has crispy bits. Or leave it out altogether for the veggie option. Turn the heat off. Drain the pasta and toss with a little extra virgin olive oil to stop it sticking together. add a small handful of grated parmesan and a large handful of crumbled stilton, turn it all over and add to the frying pan with the bacon and onion. Add the peas, and toss it all together. Serve in warmed bowls immediately. I would have served it with warm crusty bread, buttered liberally, if I'd had any.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
