INSTRUCTIONS
Bring a pot of water to boil for pasta. Chop bacon and cook in a heavy skillet, stirring, until crisp. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels and discard fat. Add 3/4 pound pasta to water and cook until al dente. While pasta is cooking, simmer 1 1/2 cups peas in about 1/3 cup water, covered, until tender, about 3 minutes. Put pea mixture in a blender. Pound garlic and salt to a paste in mortar and pestle and add to peas with zest of lemon, 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil, and about 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan. Blend pea mixture until smooth, adding some of pasta liquid if sauce is too thick to blend smoothly, and pour into a 12-inch nonstick skillet. Just before pasta is done, ladle out and reserve about 1 cup pasta water. Drain pasta in a colander and add pasta to pea sauce in skillet. Toss pasta in sauce over moderate heat until well coated, about 1 to 2 minutes, adding some of reserved pasta liquid, if sauce begins to dry out. Transfer pasta mixture to a serving bowl and sprinkle with bacon and more grated Parmesan. This recipe yields 4 servings.
