Bow-tie pasta with a creamy sauce

Farfalle Pasta (bow-tie pasta)
Approximately 5 slices of bacon (I use turkey bacon)
28 ounce can of tomatoes
1 box of frozen peas (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup up onion
12 white mushrooms, cleaned and cut up
chopped fresh basil

Bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions. Salt the water and cook till al dente.

Add some olive oil in a skillet and cut up the bacon and cook in a large skillet over medium heat. When the bacon is crisp, add onions and mushrooms and some salt and pepper to taste. Cook unil tender then add canned tomatoes, simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes. Stir in the peas and mascarpone cheese. Drain pasta and toss with the sauce. Top with fresh basil if desired.
