Creamy Carbonara Pasta

In a small saucepan, heat butter over medium high heat until melted and bubbly. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the cream and salt and give it a good stir. Bring to a simmer and then lower heat and allow to simmer for 10-12 minutes until thickened.

Cook the pasta as per package directions, in salted boiling water. When the pasta has 2 minutes left to cook, drop the peas in with the pasta to cook.

Drain the pasta and peas and return back to the large pot. Toss with the cream sauce, bacon and about 3/4 cup of the Parmesan.

Serve in bowls and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan.
