## Ingredients

- 180g + 325g frozen peas
- 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 bunch of mint, leaves picked
- 125ml water
- 400g bag spaghetti
- Salt
- 480g D’orsogna rindless streaky bacon, diced
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 100ml thickened cream
- 100g parmesan, finely grated
- ½ lemon
- Freshly milled pepper

## Method

1. **Prepare the Pea Purée:** - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 180g of the peas and cook for 2 minutes.
2. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, half of the mint, and a small splash of water to the hand blender. Blend on high speed with a Braun hand blender until smooth. Set aside.
3. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the peas to a hand blender or food processor.
4. Blend on high speed with a Braun hand blender until smooth. Set aside.
5. **Cook the Pasta** - In the same pot of boiling water, cook the pasta for 1–2 minutes less than the package instructions (about 6 minutes).
6. **Crisp the Bacon** - In a large, heavy-based fry pan over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy and the fat is rendered.
7. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels (a Chux cloth works too!). Set aside.
8. **Make the Sauce** - Return the fry pan to medium heat and cook the diced onion in the rendered bacon fat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add a pinch of salt to season.
9. Stir in the remaining frozen peas and cook until thawed. Then, pour in the cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
10. Stir in half of the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the sauce.
11. **Combine and Finish** - Return the crispy bacon to the pan and add the cooked pasta. Gently toss to coat the pasta in the sauce.
12. Stir in the pea purée and as much of the reserved pasta water as needed to achieve your desired sauce consistency.
13. Spritz with lemon juice and stir in half of the remaining mint.
14. **Serve:** - Plate the pasta and garnish with a final sprinkle of Parmesan, the remaining mint, and a spritz of lemon juice.
15. Season with freshly cracked black pepper and additional salt, if needed.
