Pasta Carbonara with Peas

Step 1

Cook pasta in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water and drain the pasta.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and fry the lardons until crispy. Add the frozen peas and cook until tender.

Step 3

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the lardons and peas. Turn off the heat. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, and stir quickly until coated with the sauce. If the pasta seems dry, add a little reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.

Step 5

Serve hot and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
