Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil for the pasta and peas. Finely grate the parmesan. Put the almonds in a cold medium deep frypan over medium heat. Toast, tossing, for 3-4 mins until evenly golden. Remove from the pan. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon, stirring, for 4-5 mins until crisp.
Step 2 — Cook pasta and peas
Meanwhile, add the pasta and peas to the pan of boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 mins until the pasta is al dente and the peas are cooked through. Reserve 80ml (⅓ cup) cooking water, then drain the pasta and peas.
Step 3 — Wilt spinach
Add the spinach, reserved cooking water and 3 tsp pepper and garlic seasoning (see Cooking tip) to the bacon. Cook, stirring, over medium heat for 1-2 mins until the spinach is wilted.
Step 4 — Serve up
Add the pasta and peas and half the parmesan to the bacon mixture and toss to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper. Divide the pasta among bowls, scatter over the almonds and remaining parmesan and enjoy!
