PASTA CARBONARA WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 3 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Drain, and set aside.
• Whisk together the eggs and cheese in a bowl. Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet to paper towels to drain, then chop the bacon. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon drippings in the skillet and discard the rest. Add the garlic and peas to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly and scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, until the garlic is fragrant and the peas are warmed through, about 1 minute.
• Add the bacon and pasta to the skillet and heat over medium heat until hot, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Working quickly, add the egg mixture to the pasta and toss with tongs until the pasta is coated in the sauce. Gradually add a little pasta water at a time to the pasta until a creamy, saucy consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle each serving with parsley and more cheese.
• Combine the eggs, flour, olive oil, salt and 1 tablespoon water in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until a dough forms, about 10 seconds. Remove the dough from the food processor to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, 4 to 5 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball; wrap with plastic and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Cut the dough in half and keep one half refrigerated. Cut the remaining half into two equal pieces. (Make sure to keep the unused dough pieces covered.)
• Working with one piece at a time, roll the dough with a rolling pin as thin as possible (but still thick enough to be lifted off the counter without breaking, about a 10-by-16- inch rectangle; the dough should be paper-thin, but you shouldn't be able to see through it.)
• Dust each dough sheet with flour. Fold the dough in half (using the short ends) and dust the top with flour. Repeat twice more, dusting with flour between each layer to create a stack. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into thin strips (1/4-inch wide).
• Separate the noodles into "nests" and let dry on a lightly floured surface, about 1 hour. Repeat the process with the remaining dough piece, then with the remaining refrigerated dough.

• Fry the lardons or bacon in the oil in a large, deep frying pan for 1 min. Pour in the Vermouth and allow to bubble up. Meanwhile, put a large pan of salted water on to boil, add the fresh tagliatelle, then cook according to pack instructions.
• Tip the peas in with the bacon, then pour in 100ml water, the stock and crème fraîche. Stir well, then add the tarragon, lettuce and spring onions. Cover the pan and cook for 3-5 mins until the lettuce is tender, but not wilted. Drain the pasta when ready, then add to the pan and toss together until well mixed.

CREAMY PASTA WITH SMOKED BACON AND PEAS

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted to a boil. Meanwhile, cut sliced bacon crosswise into thin slivers, or slice pancetta into julienne. Add pasta to boiling water and cook to taste.
• While pasta is cooking, place a large skillet over medium heat, and add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the butter. Add bacon or pancetta and a sprinkling of pepper, and fry until golden and crisp. Immediately add frozen peas and stir for a minute or two. Add crème fraîche or heavy cream and chopped mint.
• Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, and drain the pasta. Add pasta to the skillet and stir. Add lemon juice, and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat. The mixture should be thick; if desired, a splash of the pasta water may be added to the sauce to thin it slightly. Add Parmesan and stir to mix. If desired, serve with a green salad.
