Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Boil a kettle
Slice the smoked streaky bacon finely
2
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the sliced bacon and cook for 5-7 min or until golden and crispy
Once crispy, remove half of the bacon and set it aside until later
3
Meanwhile, add the farfalle pasta bows to a pot of boiled water with a generous pinch of salt, bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for an initial 8 min
Meanwhile, slice the sugar snap peas into thirds
Once the pasta has been cooking for 8 min, add the sugar snap peas and cook for 2-3 min further or until the pasta is cooked with a slight bite and the peas are tender
Once cooked, drain and reserve a cup of starchy cooking water
4
Meanwhile, trim, then finely slice the spring onion[s]
Dissolve 1/2 [1]chicken stock cube in 150ml [250ml]boiled water
5
Add the sliced spring onion to the bacon pan and cook for 1-2 min or until softened
Add the chicken stock and soft cheese and cook for 2-3 min or until starting to thicken
Season with a generous grind of black pepper – this is your creamy sauce
6
Meanwhile, chop the mint leaves finely
7
Stir the cooked pasta, sugar snap peas, reserved bacon and half of the grated Italian hard cheese (save the rest for later!) through the creamy sauce and give everything a good mix up – this is your creamy bacon & sugar snap farfalle
Tip: if the sauce is looking a little dry add a splash of the starchy cooking water
