1.

Cook pasta according to package directions. To cook peas, add them to the pasta pot in the final 1 minute or place them in colander which you'll pour out the boiling pasta water to drain the pasta. Get Recipe

Reserve about 1/2 cup pasta cooking water prior to draining the pasta. Drain pasta and set pasta and peas aside briefly, keeping them warm.

Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring frequently, about 5-10 minutes. Remove bacon from the pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

The sodium in various brands and varieties can vary pretty widely, so adjust the kosher salt in this recipe accordingly if needed, tasting your pasta at the end before serving.
