- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add bacon. Cook, flipping occasionally, until crispy, 5-7 min.**
- Remove from heat. Using tongs, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
- Carefully drain and discard all but 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) fat.
- Meanwhile, add spaghetti to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water, then drain and return spaghetti to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, reheat the pan with reserved fat over medium.
- While the pan heats, finely chop parsley.
- When the pan is hot, add breadcrumbs. Cook, stirring often, until the breadcrumbs are golden-brown, 3-4 min. Season with pepper and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt.
- Remove from heat, then combine the breadcrumbs and parsley in a small bowl.
- Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4-5 min.
- Add cream, cream cheese, pesto and half the reserved pasta water. Season with pepper and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens, 1 min.
- Add sauce to the pot with spaghetti, then toss to coat. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add more reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired.)
- Meanwhile, add arugula-spinach mix, seed blend and Italian dressing to a large bowl, then toss to coat.
- Divide pasta between bowls. Crumble bacon over top.
- Sprinkle with breadcrumb-parsley mixture.
