Peel the small onion and chop it fine. Put the 2 egg yolks in the bowl with the 8 cl of crème fraîche.
Make the sauce
Whisk the 2 yolks with the thick crème fraîche and a little pepper. Go easy on the salt: the bacon is already salty.
Start the pasta water
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat.
Sauté the onion and bacon
Heat the skillet over medium heat with 0.5 tbsp of olive oil, cook the onion 2 min, then add the 120 g of diced smoked bacon and cook it 4 min until golden.
Cook the pasta
Drop the 210 g of pasta into the boiling water and cook 9 to 10 min, or according to the package. Save a small glass of pasta water before draining.
Tip · Start the pasta as soon as the bacon begins to brown so everything is ready at the same time and the pasta doesn't sit and stick.
Cook the peas
While the pasta cooks, add the 210 g of frozen peas to the skillet with the bacon. Cook them over medium heat 4 to 5 min, stirring, then turn off the heat.
Drain and toss
Drain the pasta and tip it into the skillet with the bacon and peas. Mix well.
Bring the sauce together
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the hot pasta, over very low heat. Stir nonstop 1 to 2 min until the sauce coats the spoon, without boiling. Loosen with a little pasta water if needed.
Tip · Stay on very low heat and don't stop stirring. If the sauce starts to get grainy, pull the skillet off the heat and stir in a spoonful of pasta water.
Season and serve
Taste, adjust with pepper and a little salt if needed, then serve right away on two warm plates.
