Ingredients:
500g farfalle (pasta)
2-3 cloves garlic, pureed
1 cup chopped bacon
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup fresh cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
(Additional Parmesan cheese for garnish)
Preparation:
Prepare the pasta according to package directions for al dente. Drain pasta and place under running cold water to stop the cooking process. Return to pan and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Stir and keep away from heat.
Place the butter in a large skillet and let it melt over medium heat. When completely melted add the garlic and sauté for a minute. Add bacon and season with salt and pepper. As soon as the bacon gets a goldish color remove the pan from heat and let stand for five minutes.
Add the cream and stir. Return the skillet to heat stirring occasionally for 8 minutes or until sauce thickens.
Lower the heat and add the pasta from the pot into the skillet. Add the 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and toss gently. Allow the pasta to warm up and cheese to melt.
Serve while still hot garnished with extra Parmesan. Enjoy!
