Fettuccine with Bacon, Peas and Parmesan

This is a pasta recipe I started making during our first years of marriage in Blacksburg. It's from a Cooking Light magazine. It's an easy one that you can serve to anyone and uses inexpensive pantry stapes. I typically add more bacon on top and a handful of arugula. Our kids love it and so do we!
