Herby Pasta with Peas and Bacon

unfortunately this is not the pikkie that goes with the recipe, but this is the nearest I could find - the one in the books looks really yummy!

Soft cheese with herbs and garlic (Boursin) makes an almost instant pasta sauce

350g/12oz Pasta, such as Penne
350g/12oz frozen peas
1 large red pepper, seeded and cut into chunks
8 rashers rindless steaky bacon
150g pack soft cheese with herbs and garlic
300ml/0.5 pint milk

Takes 20 minutes * serves 4

1 cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. About 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the frozen peas and red pepper. Bring back to the boil and cook for 5 minutes

2 Meanwhile, preheat the grill to high and grill the bacon until crispy. Snip into bite-sized pieces.

3 Put the soft cheese and milk into large saucepan. Warm through, stirring continuously until smooth and thickened.

4 Drain the pasta and vegetables, and toss with the cheese sauce and bacon.
