Creamy Bacon & Parmesan Pasta

While preparing the sauce, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Reserve about 100ml of the pasta water before draining.

In a large pan, fry the smoked bacon lardons over medium heat for 5 minutes until crispy.

Add the diced onion to the pan with the bacon and fry for another 5 minutes until softened.

Stir in the crushed garlic, followed by the cream, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Add the reserved pasta water, grated parmesan, and finely chopped parsley to the sauce. Stir well.

Add the cooked and drained pasta to the sauce. Mix until all the pasta is evenly coated.

Serve the pasta immediately, garnishing with extra crispy bacon, fresh parsley, and more grated parmesan.
