Cooking Steps
1
- Boil a full kettle.
- Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the bacon lardons. Stir-fry, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook it thoroughly.
2
- Meanwhile, pour the boiled water into a saucepan with 1/2 tsp salt.
- Boil the spaghetti, 8 mins.
- Once cooked, drain and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through.
3
- Stir the chicken stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry) into the bacon. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer, 2-3 mins.
- Next, stir in the creme fraiche, peas and cheese.
- Add the spaghetti and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick.
4
- Stir in the truffle zest, then remove from the heat.
- Share the pasta between your bowls.
- Enjoy!
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The creamy, truffle-laced sauce wins plenty of fans, though some find the overall dish a little bland without extra seasoning. A few reviewers added garlic or mixed herbs to boost the flavour.
- Ease of prep: This is a genuinely quick and easy midweek meal that even children as young as 10 have made successfully with minimal supervision.
- Suggestions: Use only half the truffle zest if you find strong flavours overwhelming, and consider adding mushrooms, broccoli, or extra bacon to bulk out the dish. Adding a splash of hot water loosens the sauce if it thickens too much, and cooking the peas in the sauce for a couple of minutes helps soften them properly.
- Next-day meals: Some reviewers found the portions generous enough to save a portion for lunch the next day, though the dish is best eaten fresh as the bacon can taste less appealing when reheated.
- Portions: A number of reviewers felt the bacon lardons were too few relative to the pasta and peas, and suggest adding extra lardons or supplementing with chicken for a more satisfying meal.
