PASTA WITH BACON, SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND RED WINE
This evolved from my recipe for Carbonara from the Food and Wine pasta cookbook. I was experimenting with ways to cut the cream and eggs and with a couple of other tweaks this is where I ended up! It definitely stands on its own for a meal, particularly if you add more veggies, but I also use it as a side dish at times. Prosciutto works well too but make sure it gets really crispy. With the wine, you are going to add it to the bacon mixture 2 tablespoons at a time.

Steps:
- Put on a pot of salted water to boil.
- Heat up a large skillet over medium. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Add chopped bacon and stir. Let bacon cook about 5 minutes until it starts to brown and bacon grease gets released into pan.
- Add shallots, garlic, pinch of red pepper flakes and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir and cook until shallots and garlic begin to brown, about 2 more minutes.
- Add first 2 tbsp of red wine and carefully scrap down the pan to make sure all the little bits are being picked up. Let cook 2-3 minutes and repeat, adding another 1/4 tsp of black pepper.
- Meanwhile, add pasta to boiling water and cook per instructions. Add sugar snap peas 1 min, 15 seconds before pasta cooking time is up. (This will make them tender crisp. Change cooking time if you like them more/less tender).
- Repeat the process with the wine until it has all been used, adding additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Once all wine has been added, move heat to low/medium low. Add 1 tbsp red wine.
- Drain pasta/snow peas and add into skillet. If your skillet is not large enough this can be done in a new bowl. Thoroughly combine bacon mixture with pasta, really scrapping the sides of the pan to make sure all the flavors are incorporated.
- Add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and 2 tbsp fresh parsley. Mix again.
- Serve and enjoy! I usually keep a cup of cheese on the table for people to add more as they see fit.

Steps:
- Cook sugar snaps in an 8-quart pot of boiling salted water 2 minutes, then transfer 1 cup sugar snaps to a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Transfer cooled sugar snaps to a cutting board. Cook sugar snaps remaining in pot until tender, about 2 1/2 minutes more, then transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Measure out and save 1 cup cooking water, reserving remaining water in pot.
- Return cooking water in pot to a boil and cook pasta until al dente, then drain in colander. While pasta is cooking, cut 1 cup sugar snaps (on cutting board) crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Purée half of sugar snaps from bowl, half of garlic paste, 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 cup cheese, and 1/4 cup saved cooking water in a blender (use caution when blending hot liquids), then force purée with a rubber spatula through a medium-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Purée another batch in same manner, forcing through sieve into bowl, and add cut sugar snaps.
- Toss hot pasta with sugar snap sauce and, if necessary, enough of remaining 1/2 cup saved cooking water to thin sauce to desired consistency, then season pasta with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in this dish. Look for thick, succulent bacon, crisp sugar snap peas, and a dry red wine that you enjoy drinking.
- Don't overcook the bacon: Bacon is best when it's cooked until it's crispy but not burnt. Keep an eye on it closely so that you don't overcook it.
- Blanch the sugar snap peas: Blanching the sugar snap peas will help them retain their vibrant color and crisp texture. Be sure to shock them in ice water immediately after blanching to stop the cooking process.
- Use a good-quality red wine: The red wine you use in this dish should be one that you enjoy drinking. A dry red wine with medium body and moderate tannins, such as a Pinot Noir or a Sangiovese, will work well.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This pasta with bacon, sugar snap peas, and red wine is a quick and easy dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's packed with flavor and sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying pasta dish, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
