14th Bacon and Pea Pasta with Crème Fraiche

This was an alteration on one of Jamie Oliver’s dishes and was absolutely  amazing to say the least. I’d never had crème fraiche before so was a bit dubious but Jace said it was really good and I’m glad I listened .

My Now Favourite EVER pasta dish

This was quick, easy and tasted sooo good could have kept on eating it if there had been more (and we had generous servings). Will definitely be using Crème Fraiche again, so if anyone has any recipes that use it please let me know.
