Ingredients
Method
Cooking Pasta
- In a large pot, boil water and add a pinch of salt. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
Cooking Turkey Bacon
- In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped Halal turkey bacon and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes, mixing occasionally.
Adding Flavor
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Making Creamy Base
- Pour in heavy cream and stir well. Lower heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it begins to thicken.
Combining Ingredients
- Add the cooked pasta and thawed peas. Toss everything together until well combined. If the mixture seems too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water.
Adding Cheese
- Stir in shredded cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving
- Plate your pasta and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your warm bowl of creamy deliciousness!
Notes
Feel free to substitute Halal turkey bacon for grilled chicken or shrimp. Ensure pasta is cooked al dente for the best texture. The dish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for about a month. Reheat with a splash of heavy cream or reserved pasta water.
