Wow, bacon pasta! Who knew? But then anything with bacon, cream, and cheese has got to be a hit! Tastes better than something from Olive Garden.
Not only does it have great flavor but it’s also very easy to make!
The sauce turns out so rich and creamy and the bacon just makes this extra, extra yummy. Very rich but worth it.
The bacon makes it salty enough so make sure to taste it before seasoning.
