Cooking Steps
- Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop parsley.
- Cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Cut bacon crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces on a separate cutting board.
- Add spaghetti to the boiling water.
- Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water, then drain and return spaghetti to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add bacon. Cook, stirring often, until bacon is cooked through and starting to crisp, 4-5 min.**
- Add garlic, onions and peas. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until veggies soften slightly, 3-4 min.
- When veggies soften, stir in cream and reserved pasta water. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 3-4 min.
- Meanwhile, combine vinegar, 1 tsp (2 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil in a large bowl.
- Add tomatoes and spring mix. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Add Alfredo sauce, parsley and half the Parmesan to the pot with spaghetti. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Divide pasta and salad between plates.
- Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over top.
If you've opted for double bacon, prep and cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep and cook the regular portion of bacon. Don't overcrowd the pan. Pan-fry bacon in batches, if needed.
