______________________________________________________________
This is one of my favorite early spring meals. After a brief flirtation with VERY spring-y weather, today has been windy and cold - not so cold to make one think "winter", but pretty cold. Thus, this pasta is perfect for tonight! The creamy, richness of the sauce (not to mention the smoky bacon flavor) warms you up, while the fresh basil and light peas are the perfect reminders of the warm weather to come. The richness is countered well with the garlic in the dressing. All in all an easy and sumptuous dinner!

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Bacon, onion, garlic, Parmesan, basil
Time: 35 minutes
Make ahead: I would do this last minute. You could try making the sauce up through melting the cream cheese, and then finishing the rest last minute.

Reaction
J: "This is so good- and even easier to make then I remembered!"
M: "Creamy bliss."
