Pasta with Peas and Bacon

I don't even know what to say about this recipe. Chris had a work outing one night, and since I only like to try fun new recipes when he's around, I decided to just throw something together based on what I already had available. Peas, bacon and pasta? I gave it a try and wow, did it deliver.

This pasta is extremely easy to throw together (even with a crying baby in the background!) so it's a perfect weeknight meal. The bacon gives it tons of flavor and the peas make it somewhat healthy. Right? I top this with extra Parmesan cheese and it's good to go. Enjoy!
