Fresh parsley, dill, chives, and sweet peas all bring a springy herbaceous quality to this pasta that benefits from a salty bite of bacon and a tangy hit of goat cheese.
Recipe Summary
Prep: 10 mins
Total: 20 mins
Servings: 4
Ingredients
Salt and pepper
1/2 pound short pasta, such as cavatappi
1 1/2 cups peas, fresh or frozen
4 ounces bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 ounces fresh goat cheese
1 1/2 cups fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup sliced fresh chives
1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
Step 1
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions. If using fresh peas, add 2 minutes before pasta is done cooking; if using frozen, add just before draining. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
