One Pot Pasta with Leek, Bacon & Peas

1

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the bacon and cook until browned and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel lined plate.

2

Add the leeks and sauté until softened and just starting to brown on the edges, about ten minutes, adjusting the heat as needed. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.

3

Pour in the water and scrape up any browned bits. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions, tossing often to ensure it stays coated in the water, adding more water if needed. With three minutes remaining, add the peas.

4

Toss in the parmesan, lemon juice and zest along with the bacon and chives. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Serve and enjoy!
