Ingredients
  

200g pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine)

150g bacon, diced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for heat)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.

    Prep the Bacon: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels, but leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.

      Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.

        Make the Cream Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir continuously and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

          Add Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until completely melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

            Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked pasta, crispy bacon, black pepper, and salt (to taste) into the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss everything together until well coated. If desired, add red pepper flakes for an extra kick.

              Serve: Plate the creamy bacon pasta and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy your delicious meal!
