Smoked paprika always add a nice smokey flavor when bacon isn’t permitted. Also a deeply caramelized mushroom would add a hit of umami.

Any suggestions what you would sub the bacon for, to make it vege friendly? Thank you!

We couldn’t agree more. It’s such a crowd pleaser.

Oh man, the number of times that pasta, Parmesan, pasta water and whatever veggies we have in the fridge has saved me a trip to the supermarket is ridiculous. Last night it was shells, proscuitto and broccoli. Pasta water is so under-rated. Plus it’s an awesome excuse to keep lots of Parmesan in the fridge. Can’t go wrong. This looks delish! Xx

I absolutely LOVE the simplicity of this dish. Pasta could not be a more versatile thing…it can be dressed up or dressed down and it’s always itself!

This was exactly what I needed the day you posted it – I stopped for bacon and cream on the way home and that’s what we had for dinner. And then I forwarded it along to a few friends. Lovely, as always – thank you.

I love that image!! “The birds are silent, my palms start sweating.” Right after the idyllic scene.

This sounds like a wonderful weekday meal. Thank you!!

It’s similar but instead I use cream and no eggs. No fear of scrambling here!

Wow, “Best Mom Ever” accolades don’t get handed out easily in our house, so this must be quite some pasta!! 😉 It looks delicious and I must admit that I have some fresh english peas to use up (and quickly!!) so this may very well be how that happens;)

I so love that you had a moment to sit and think on that. Makes me so happy. And thank you for the kind words.

I was about to leave a comment of that pea bedecked spring pasta recipe. It really caught my fancy but then I scrolled on and read about your alter ego party. I sat here on the sofa in a tiny daze thinking about alter egos, my alter ego, and does she have an alter ego…and is that me? Thank you for the little moment of musings that you set off. As always I enjoy reading your blog as much as the recipes.
