1 lb Farfalle (Farfalle is a bow-tie want-to-be)
1 egg
7 tablespoons heavy cream
sea salt & black pepper
12 slices of bacon (I only use 6)
3 handfuls of fresh or frozen peas
2 sprigs of fresh mint, leaves picked
2 handfuls of parmesan cheese
- Bring large pan of salted water to boil, add farfalle & cook according to package
- Whisk egg in a bowl with cream, salt & pepper
- Put your bacon into a second pan & cook until crispy
- When the farfalle is nearly cooked, add the peas for the last minute & a half
- When cooked, drain & save a little of the cooking water
- Add pasta to the bacon and stir in most of the mint, finely sliced
- Now you need to add the egg & cream mix to the pasta. Add while the pasta is still hot so to cook the eggs enough to give you a silky smooth sauce
- Toss together & loosen with a little of the reserved pasta water if necessary
- Season with salt & pepper, sprinkle with parmesan & rest of the mint leaves
