Method

step 1

Fry the lardons or bacon in the oil in a large, deep frying pan for 1 min. Pour in the Vermouth and allow to bubble up. Meanwhile, put a large pan of salted water on to boil, add the fresh tagliatelle, then cook according to pack instructions.
step 2

Tip the peas in with the bacon, then pour in 100ml water, the stock and crème fraîche. Stir well, then add the tarragon, lettuce and spring onions. Cover the pan and cook for 3-5 mins until the lettuce is tender, but not wilted. Drain the pasta when ready, then add to the pan and toss together until well mixed.
