Tagliatelle with Peas and Canadian Bacon (Ham)

Yesterday, after becoming a true Girl Scout, my little baby wanted pasta for dinner. So, pasta it was!

I started by heating up on medium heat one tablespoon of butter and one of olive oil, to which I added 2 finely chopped scallions.

I let the scallions cook, then added one handful of frozen peas

I cooked the peas, stirring continuously, for about 10 minutes, then I poured in a little bit of heavy cream (about 1/4 cup)

I stirred everything, cooking for about 5 minutes, then added 2 sliced of Canadian bacon, finely diced

 

Separately, I boiled the pasta (about 2 oz) in a big pot of salted water, for about 5 minutes, then drained it and added it to the sauce, together with grated Parmesan cheese (about one handful)

I combined everything and plated the pasta. This can absolutely be a vegetarian dish if you omit the Canadian bacon.

Dinner is ready!
