½ cup frozen peas

1 egg

½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

1 pinch red pepper flakes

Whisk together egg, Parmesan, onion and drippings, salt, and red pepper in a bowl. Add hot ramen and cooked bacon. Toss to coat, adding enough reserved cooking water to make a creamy consistency. Top servings with parsley.
