So, you have a hungry mob to feed on games night, what do you do?
We have the answer, easy to make games night meals for everyone . .
This is not a very authentic Carbonara, sorry Italy, but it is very tasty.

Method
aa
a
- Cook pasta as needed, drain, then set aside.
a
2. Chop bacon into a large saucepan and fry on a high-ish heat.
(we often just snip the bacon into pieces with kitchen scissors straight into the pan – easy peasy)
a
3. Turn down heat a little and add the garlic.
a
4. Add onions and cook until they go pale.
a
5. Stir in the Creme Fraiche – plain yoghurt will also work if needed.
a
6. Add the frozen peas, cooking until they deepen in colour.
a
7. Stir in the herby cream cheese.
We use Philadelphia, but you could use plain and add the herbs you like. Boursin works well too, but we find it expensive.
a
8. Add the pasta back to the pan and coat well with the sauce.
a
9. Add some ground black pepper to taste – Tammy likes it with a bit of a kick.
a
10. Add the chopped pepper at the end and just warm through, this leaves it nice and crunchy.
a
Tip – This meal is great with some garlic bread on the side.
