- Boil a full kettle. Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 1/2 tsp salt on high heat.

- Once the bacon is cooked, drain any excess fat from the pan and pop back on medium-high heat.
- Stir the veg stock, creme fraiche and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) into the pan. Cook, 2-3 mins.
- Stir the cooked pasta into the sauce and mix to combine. Remove from the heat.
- Stir the peas, pesto and two thirds of the hard Italian style cheese into your pasta.
- Share your creamy bacon pesto pasta between your bowls.
- Sprinkle over the remaining cheese.
Enjoy!
