Who Remembers this dish

• 226 grams penne or macaroni pasta (I use Dreamfields)

• 226 grams frozen peas

• 4 thick slices of bacon, cut into small pieces

• 1/2 cup plain yogurt (I use fat-free Greek)

• Dash of hot sauce

• 113 grams cheddar, shredded

• 113 grams fontina, shredded (or other melt-friendly cheese - not more cheddar)

• Salt

• Pepper

Instructions

• In a medium saute pan, cook the bacon to a crisp and then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

• Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions, until al dente.

• Add the peas to the pasta water in the last minute of cooking.

• Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining the pasta and peas.

• Return the pasta and peas to pot.

• Add 1/4 cup pasta water (it must be hot), the yogurt, a few dashes of hot sauce, and 1/3 of the grated cheese and stir until the cheese has melted.

• Stir in remaining cheese, one small handful at a time to prevent clumping.

• Add additional pasta water as necessary to thin and melt the cheese sauce.

• Season with salt and pepper.

• Add the bacon, mix well, and serve.

Notes

Yields: 4 servings

Looks good 😊 for someone who does not eat pasta, I could be tempted, would have to omit the cheese though!!

I've never heard of that brand pasta.
The measurement is strange two lots of 113grams , did you convert the measurements from an American recipe as I noticed another recipe you posted have pounds .
Just checking that you converted properly as 113 grams I have never seen this in a recipe before
The 113 grams converts to 4 ounces so it probably is an American recipe.

Reason for that 2 different lots cheese not same cheese..or just use 1 lot you don't have use 2 lots...for me just used 1 lot otherwise it would have been too rich for me
 
Copy rights mean you can't claim its your recipe but you can change the recipe I'm always changing recipes to how I like it.

Who is she ?

In American and even UK recipes the weights are different to ours.
We have to be careful posting recipes that we get the measurements right.

Make sure you put the exact ammount you use.
That's right. Our tablespoon size is 20ml. Plus American cup size is different as well.
