Creamy pea and bacon spaghetti

Method

1. Cook the spaghetti according to the pack instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 tbsp of the cooking water, then return the pasta to the pan and drizzle with olive oil.
2. Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan, add the onion and fry for 5 minutes until soft. Add the streaky bacon and fry until the onion is golden and the bacon is crisp.
3. Meanwhile, cook the frozen peas in a pan of boiling water for 1 minute. Drain, then quickly blitz with a stick blender (or use a potato masher), adding half the grated parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside.
4. Add the cream to the pan with the onion and bacon, season, then mix with the spaghetti, blitzed/mashed peas and the remaining parmesan. Top with extra grated parmesan.
