**Pasta With Cream And Bacon**
**Ingredients:**
– 12 oz (340g) of pasta (such as fettuccine or penne)
– 6 slices of bacon, chopped
– 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
2. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until it becomes crispy and renders its fat, about 6-8 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the bacon and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
4. Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, stirring to combine with the bacon and garlic. Let the cream simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
5. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese into the cream sauce, allowing it to melt and create a rich, creamy consistency.
6. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind that the bacon also adds saltiness to the dish.
7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the cream sauce, tossing everything together gently to ensure the pasta is well coated.
8. If the sauce seems too thick, gradually add some of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up to your desired consistency.
9. Serve the Pasta with Cream and Bacon hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
