Ingredients

  • 3/4 pound uncooked twisty pasta I used a couple of odds and ends pastas I had laying around
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 1 large shallot thinly sliced
  • 1 cup frozen edamame thawed
  • 1 cup frozen peas thawed
  • 3 tablespoons dry white wine
  • 1/3 cup fat-free lower-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 5 slices of cooked bacon chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 ounce pecorino Romano cheese grated (about 1/4 cup)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1/4 cup liquid; keep warm.
  2. Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and butter; swirl until butter melts. Add shallot; cook 5 minutes or until shallot is tender and translucent, stirring occasionally. Stir in edamame and peas. Increase heat to medium-high. Add wine; cook 30 seconds. Stir in broth and pepper; cook 5 minutes or until edamame and peas are tender.
  3. Remove from heat; stir in bacon. Stir in pasta, reserved cooking liquid, and salt. Gently stir in ricotta and pecorino. Serve immediately.
