Pasta tossed with tangy labneh, lemon juice, peas and bacon is a creamy, weeknight-quick meal that tastes like spring.
IN THE MIDST OF WINTER, A TASTE OF SPRING IS ALWAYS WELCOME. So we were delighted when a reader reminded us of this bright flavored dish we’d made more than two years ago. The peas (frozen, no need to wait for fresh to show up in the market) are one of our favorite flavors of spring. Along with lemon juice and zest, they give this dish a nice brightness and lightness.
Labneh, a Middle Eastern soft cheese made from strained yogurt, delivers a wonderful tanginess (you can substitute full-fat Greek yogurt if you can’t find labneh). And crumbled bacon balances the bright, tangy flavors with delicious smokiness. Best of all, this is an absolutely easy, weeknight-quick meal. We might even make it this weeknight. You’ll find our recipe for Labneh Pasta with Peas and Bacon here.
