Angel-hair pasta with bacon and peas

Here's another Everyday Food recipe. It's way good! Only takes about 20 minutes too, which helps me a ton. Every time I make this, I think I should make it more often.

4 slices bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/2 inch pieces
2 shallots, halved and thinly sliced (I have used onion in a pinch)
1 box frozen peas, thawed
1 cup half and half
18 oz. angel-hair pasta

Set a large pot of salted water to boil. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain (leave fat in skillet).

Add shallots to skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add peas and half-and-half; season with salt and pepper. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente, according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain pasta, and return to pot. Pour sauce over pasta; toss to combine, adding some reserved pasta water a little at a time to coat. Sprinkle with bacon, and serve immediately.
