Creamy Pea & Bacon Spaghetti

Creamy Pea & Bacon Spaghetti Recipe

This Creamy Pea and Bacon Spaghetti is perfect for those nights when only a big bowl of comforting pasta will do! This meal is inexpensive and so quick to throw together. Don’t be fooled by how simple it looks—it’s packed with flavour from the combination of bacon, garlic, Parmesan, and cream. I love serving this with a big bowl of dressed baby spinach leaves or steamed broccoli on the side. Chilli flakes and extra Parmesan are a must for me too!

Is Creamy Pea & Bacon Spaghetti suitable for leftovers?

Creamy Pea & Bacon Spaghetti can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave. Not suitable to freeze.
