A creamy and cheesy pasta with crisp bacon. Makes a delicious side dish with steak or seafood, or you can eat it as a main dish.
Ingredients
8 Ounces Bowtie Pasta
1/2 Pound Bacon
8 Ounces Cream Cheese (Room temp and softened)
1/4 Cup Salted Butter (Room temp and softened)
1 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning or Fat Chef Tuscan Spice Blend
2/3 Cup Milk
1/2 Cup Fresh Grated Parmesan Cheese
Directions
Cook the bacon using your preferred method until crisp and then cut into 1" pieces and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the pasta until tender. Drain and add a tablespoon of Olive Oil and coat pasta. Lid pot and keep warm.
While pasta is cooking, add the softened cream cheese, butter, and Italian seasoning to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth. While beating on low, slowly add milk until fully combined and mixture is smooth (Mixture should be creamy and easily pourable).
Microwave the cream cheese mixture for approximately 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until thoroughly heated and creamy.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the pasta and toss to coat. Top with Fresh Shredded Parmesan and bacon.
