Bacon Alfredo Pasta

It was a Sunday. And I was craving certain things. Like thick cut bacon, creamy alfredo sauce, and parmesan cheese.

The sauce part of the recipe makes about a cup - if you want to make more just add in more cream/milk, and more cheese. 

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup of pasta per person eating
• 6 pieces of thick cut bacon
• 1/8 stick of butter
• 4 garlic cloves split in half
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon coarse black pepper
• 1/2 tablespoon salt
• 1/2 cup parmesan - fresnly grated works best
• Parsley and parmesan for topping

Directions:

1. Boil a large pot of water for the pasta. Choose your noodle and cook according to package instructions.
2. Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then cool and chop into pieces.
3. Melt the butter in a large skillet and sprinkle the cut garlic into the butter until it bubbles.
4. Add the cream, salt and pepper into the butter and garlic mixture, and whisk for a minute.  If you're feeling super fatty - you can add the bacon grease to this mixture.
5. Continue to whisk the sauce on and off, add in grated parmesan cheese to the sauce to thicken more - it should be thick enough after 15 minutes.
6. Mix the noodles in with the sauce, top with parm and parsley, then eat your face off!
