¾ pound pasta tubes

1 tablespoon extra virgin oil
03 -
½ yellow onion, chopped tiny
04 -
1 cup icy peas

6 fat strips bacon, diced small

¼ cup rich cream
# Instructions:
01 -
Get water bubbling in a big pot with salt, then dump in your pasta. When cooking's halfway done, toss the icy peas into the same water. Cook everything about a minute under what the box says for a firm bite.
02 -
Warm up some oil in a wide pan on pretty high heat. Toss in your tiny chopped onions and bacon bits, cooking till they're crispy but watch they don't burn.
03 -
Strain the pasta and peas, then throw them in with your bacon-onion mix. Turn the heat down a bit and pour in your cream. Feel free to splash in more cream if it looks too dry.
04 -
Pop it straight onto plates while it's steaming hot, and let everyone sprinkle on cheese to their liking.

That old Italian saying rings true: 'You don't make pasta wait, pasta makes you wait'
