Bacon Alfredo Pasta

I’ve been crushing hard on the pasta – cheese – bacon combo lately. Because YUM!!!!!!

Here’s another delicious recipe using all 3 – and yes, it’s less than 5 ingredients! This is a simple homemade alfredo sauce with half and half (you could use cream), garlic and Parm.

Sometimes simpler is just tastier. And this meal is exactly that. Simple & tasty! ENJOY!!!

Cook Time20 mins

Ingredients

• 12 oz.pasta
• 12 oz.bacon, sliced
• 1 1/2 cups half and half
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tspgarlic, minced
• Fresh veggies, as side dish

Instructions

• Prepare pasta as directed on package to al dente doneness. Drain. Toss with a little olive oil to keep it from sticking if the pasta is done ahead of the sauce.
• In a medium saute pan, brown the bacon until it's crispy. Remove the bacon to a plate lined with paper towel to drain the bacon. Chop the bacon slices once they cool slightly.
• Drain the bacon pan, reserving 1 Tbsp of bacon drippings in the pan. Add the half and half to the pan and turn the stove to low to bring the liquid to a low simmer.Slowly whisk in the Parmesan cheese. Stir continually until cheese is melted. Simmer over low until sauce thickens. This should take about 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in the garlic.
• Prepare fresh veggies.
• Serve Bacon Alfredo Pasta sprinkled with chopped bacon and a side of fresh veggies.
