Angel Hair Pasta

• Angel Hair
• chicken broth
• bacon crumbled (Microwave kind is good)
• frozen peas

Cook Angel Hair pasta, add frozen peas just before done. Drain and add bacon and mushrooms. Salt and pepper all. Add chicken broth as much as you want. You can just use a little olive oil if you want that flavor instead of broth. Artichoke hearts are good to add with the mushrooms.
