Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 4 middle bacon rashers, trimmed, roughly chopped
  • 20g butter
  • 4 x 72g packets of instant noodles
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup grated colby cheese (see note)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

    1. Heat oil and butter in a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until onion softens. Transfer 2 tablespoons onion mixture to a small bowl. Cover to keep warm.
    2. Add flour and 2 of the chicken flavour sachets from noodles to pan (discard remaining sachets). Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium. Gradually stir in milk and 2 cups water. Bring to a simmer. Add noodles. Cook, stirring occasionally to break up noodles, for 2 minutes or until noodles are tender.
    3. Add peas and cheese. Cook for a further 1 to 2 minutes or until peas are bright green and tender. Add parsley and lemon zest to reserved onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
    4. Remove noodles from heat. Sprinkle with onion mixture. Serve.

Notes

Cook’s note:We used colby for its mild, creamy flavourand smooth texture, plus it’s an easy meltingcheese. You can use any grated cheese youhave in the fridge, such as tasty or cheddar.
