You had me at bacon. It’s my favorite food group. Cheese comes in 2nd. You made this meal for me, huh?!?
You just made my pregnant soul sing.
Ooooooo! That looks yummy!
Yum I’ll have to try that. I love making spaghetti noodles then tossing them with olive oil and mixing in bacon, parmesan, and peas. It takes 10 minutes to make and is so good!
I was looking at the casarecci pasta at the supermarket the other day… I was wondering how to use them. Now you gave me a great idea! I like the fact that you cooked the egg-sauce for kids. For them, I would lower the amount of bacon but increase the peas. You’d be surprise how young kids love to pick the peas (by hand if possible). It’s a great small motor-skill development recipe! Thanks!
We always have bacon, frozen peas and pasta on hand and this is often a last minute dinner of ours. I love the type of pasta used here and will have to give that a try…yummy!
Bacon makes everything good.
Yum! Pasta and peas was one of my favorites as a kid. Adding bacon to the mix is a stroke of genius.
Mmm – this would be delicious with some of our newest batch of home cured bacon
I LOVE this recipe. I had something similar at an authentic Italian restaurant once where they added some lemon zing to it. The lemon is something I would have never thought to add … but damn was it good!
oh that piece of bacon front and to the right looks like I could grab it off the page.
ooo! BACON! This post makes me feel like that dog in the “beggin strips” ad- you know all excited going “bacon! I smell bacon! Bacon, bacon ,bacon, bacon!” Yep, that’s me right now- except I don’t have a tail to wag. But…. if I did….. well, you know! GREAT post! (and food porn, lol!)
Right there with you on the bacon. Gorgeous picture as always!
Great picture!!! This is so quick and easy. Who would not want to make this. I love the addition of bacon.
By the way, classes watched the video that I taped of you on the Today show! It was great. Now they want me to make the dumplings. They were asking what is hangover food? I had to say just never mind!! Don’t want to lose my job.
Bacon? Yes please! I definitely need to make this–Squirrel will inhale it, I have no doubts.
I’m also now feeling like the dog on that Beggin’ Strips commercial! Pasta+Bacon=Get In My Belly!!
I got your cookbook and it’s wonderful!!
Such a simple but delicious dish! Perfect for my next sunday lunch! Thanks!
Honored to read a comment from you on my blog Jaden! Thank you
Don’t be surprised, I am not into Bacon
But I love how droolicious your photo looks! What can I substitute bacon for in this recipe?
Oh! I make something very similar with a brown butter sauce. I was surprised how good it was and I thought my husband would turn his nose up and pasta and peas, but he just about licked his plate!
Yummm…ThIs picture is amazing!
Nice recipe ! yummy i like it
how do the egg yolks NOT scramble when you add them to the HOT pan? i just made this dish and the egg mixture scrambled. am i doing something wrong?

Your heat should be off – and the egg should be poured on top of the pasta, not directly onto pan surface. You can also try to use cold eggs (v.s. room temp) but I’ve never had problem with eggs scrambling.
I think I just found dinner for tomorrow. Yummy!
