Step 1

Set a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions.

Step 2

In the meantime, in a large pan, heat butter over medium heat; add bacon and saute for 5 minutes until almost crispy. Add shallots, stir occasionally until they begin to soften, 1-2 minutes. Add peas and half-and-half. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Simmer gently until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the water. Add pasta to the sauce; toss to combine, adding a little bit of the reserved pasta water at a time, only if necessary.

Step 5

Serve in individual bowls and sprinkle some freshly grated Parmesan on top.
