Cooking and serving day instructions

Bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8–9 minutes. Drain and set pasta aside.

In large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat bacon pieces until they begin to sizzle. Add peas and cream. Bring sauce to a boil, reduce heat slightly, and boil gently for about 8 minutes. Sprinkle in Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until blended and sauce is slightly thickened.

Mix pasta and sauce together in large serving bowl. Garnish with chopped parsley and black pepper to taste.
