Orecchiette Rigate with bacon and peas

This dish is incredible easy and delicious. I was inspired to try to recreate a dish I had in Italy. While there is nothing better than fresh pasta, I thought the dried did just fine. Buon Appetito!!!

Orecchiette Rigate (I prefer the Whole Foods brand)
1 cup frozen peas
6 strips of bacon (cooked and crumbled)
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp chiffonade basil
lemon

Cook pasta according to directions on pasta box. While pasta is cooking fry the bacon, remove, crumble and set aside. Empty pan of all but 1 tbsp of bacon drippings. Add cream, wine, nutmeg, peas, cheese and salt and pepper bring to boil and reduce by half.

Drain pasta and toss in pan with sauce. Top each serving with the crumbled bacon, and basil. Finish with a squeeze of lemon over each serving.
