Recipe type: Main Dish
Ingredients
  • 8 oz penne or macaroni pasta
  • ½ cup peas (I used fresh but you can use frozen)
  • 4 thick slices of bacon
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 4 oz cheddar, shredded
  • 4 oz fontina, shredded
  • Dash of nutmeg
  • Pepper
Instructions
  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. In the last minute of the pasta cooking, add the peas to the boiling water.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, fry up the bacon. Crumble into small pieces when done.
  3. Drain pasta and peas reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
  4. Add Greek Yogurt, ¼ cup of pasta water and the cheese. Stir until the cheese melts. Add in additional water to achieve a creamy mixture (I used ½ cup total.)
  5. Season with pepper and a dash of nutmeg.
  6. Add in crumbled bacon.
  7. Serve and enjoy!
