Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add bacon. Cook, stirring often, until bacon is cooked through and starting to crisp, 4-5 min.** Add garlic, onions and peas. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until veggies soften slightly, 3-4 min.

When veggies soften, stir in cream and reserved pasta water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 3-4 min.
