I'm going to be completely honest with you here...I am obsessed with this recipe. I make it at least once a fortnight. There's just something about the sauce that is so different to other healthy green pasta sauces - it's thick but smooth, creamy yet minty, salty but citrusy. I love it so much. And it's so easy to make, and inexpensive. Everyone always has frozen peas in their freezer. Everyone always has pasta in their cupboards. With a few extra ingredients, you've got a sauce that can be whipped up in under 10 minutes, and is a fantastic refreshing flavour. I promise you, swap the tomato sauce for this and you'll be amazed - it's a game changer of a recipe.

The Right Choice

For this recipe, I have chosen to use the THIS™ isn't Bacon Lardons, and I've done this for a number of different reasons. Not only is it nice to switch things up now and again (I usually use veggie bacon rashers), but the flavour is a fun alternative and the brand is funky and modern. High in protein, fibre, iron, vitamin B12, these lardons are better for the planet, long-lasting and really tasty. I've actually made these for friends who eat meat and they preferred these. They are also not that expensive, which is an extra bonus.
