Penne Pasta, Peas and Bacon – The Ultimate Amazing Recipe!


  • Author: Lina Carter
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 12 oz penne pasta
– 6 oz bacon, chopped
– 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Penne Pasta, Peas and Bacon is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped bacon. Cook until crispy and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
3. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add olive oil. Once heated, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add Peas: Stir in the peas and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are heated through.
5. Prepare the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and thicken the sauce.
6. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked penne pasta and crispy bacon back into the skillet. Toss everything together until well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve: Remove from heat. Optionally garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

These easy steps will guide you in preparing a magnificent dish that will soon become a family favorite!
