Ingredients

How to make it

  • Cook the pasta in boiling, salted water until al dente; drain & set aside.
  • Meanwhile, cook your chosen protein (seasoned with salt & pepper) in a skillet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Once the protein is finished cooking, remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Spray that skillet again and begin to sauté any vegetables you have chosen to use.
  • While all that is going on, cook the diced bacon in another skillet, until crispy.
  • Remove the bacon, drain most of the fat; hang onto enough just to lightly coat the bottom of your skillet.
  • With the bacon skillet over medium heat, grate the garlic into the skillet and cook for 1 minute, then add the cream cheese and stir around to melt it down.
  • Add the milk and the grated parmesan cheese and stir to incorporate.
  • Add the bacon back into the skillet and stir.
  • Season to taste with salt & pepper.
  • Keep cooking over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce is smooth and bubbly.
  • Remove from heat.
  • In a large serving bowl (or the big pasta pot), combine the cooked pasta, cooked meat or seafood (if using any) and cooked veggies (if using any) and toss together.
  • Pour the sauce over the pasta mixture and stir gently to coat.
