Breaking up Italy content for food content...made this pasta while trying to clean out the fridge before I left and it turned out so tasty and comforting! Cooked the bacon first, on the crispy side, and then put aside, drained a little of the grease and then sauteed minced garlic and sliced shallot in the same pan, while I boiled water for pasta on the next burner. In the last few minutes of cooking, I threw frozen peas in with the macaroni and then drained all together, saving a bit of the liquid. Added pasta/peas to pan with garlic/shallot/grease, mixed all together on low heat with salt/pepper and a bit of the liquid to make a "sauce." Crumbled bacon on top, squished in a few mini mozzarella balls, and topped with some parm 😋🍝
