Ingredients
200g spaghetti
250g frozen peas
2 medium eggs
25g Parmesan, grated
4 level tbsp reduced-fat crème fraîche
1 tbsp olive oil
4 rashers Asda Extra Special Unsmoked Back Bacon, chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
Chopped parsley, to serve
Method
1Add the pasta to a large pan of boiling water, return to the boil, stir once and simmer fast for 10-12 minutes. Add the peas for the last 4 minutes.
2While the spaghetti is cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Beat the eggs, Parmesan, milk and crème fraîche together.
3Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the bacon and shallot over a medium heat, for 5 minutes or until the bacon is cooked and the shallot is just starting to brown. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Keep warm.
4Drain the spaghetti and peas and return to the pan, but don't turn on the heat. Add the bacon, then stir in the egg mixture. The heat from the pasta will be enough to lightly cook the egg. Sprinkle with parsley to serve.
