How to Make Green And Gold Peas With Pasta
- Cook pasta according to package directions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, dice bacon and cook in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels to drain.
- Add sliced onion to the bacon fat in the skillet and sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add frozen peas and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in chickpeas and cook for another minute until heated through.
- Return cooked bacon to the skillet. Add chopped mint and drained pasta. Gradually add reserved pasta water until pasta is moist but not soupy.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
- Transfer pasta to a serving bowl or platter.
- Drizzle with olive oil, garnish with extra mint leaves, and serve immediately. Pass extra Parmesan cheese at the table.
