Ingredients

2 cups
fusilli pasta, uncooked
500 mL
2 strips
bacon, finely diced
2
leeks (white part only), thinly sliced lengthwise
2 cups
snap peas, ends removed, cut in half
500 mL
1 cup
coarsely chopped parsley
250 mL
1/2 tsp
salt
2 mL
pepper to taste

Method

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large deep-sided skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until fat starts to render and bacon begins to brown. Add leeks and cook until softened. Set aside.

Step 2

Drain pasta, reserving the cooking water. Set pasta aside. Place cooking water back on stove to simmer. Add peas to simmering water and blanch until tender-crisp, about 2 min. Drain peas, reserve 1/2 cup (125 mL) cooking water and run peas under cold water to stop cooking.

Step 3

Add cooked pasta to skillet with bacon and leeks. With heat on low, stir in reserved cooking water, 1 tbsp (15 mL) at a time, to desired consistency. Stir well. With heat off, stir in peas, parsley, salt and pepper. Toss well.
