Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (8 ounce) package linguine pasta
1 cup frozen peas
5 slices bacon
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup milk
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes, adding peas in the last minute of cooking. Drain and keep warm in a bowl.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels, reserving 1 tablespoon of drippings in the skillet.
  • Add garlic to the skillet; saute for 1 minute. Reduce heat to low and stir in milk and cream cheese until blended.
  • Crumble bacon and add to the linguine along with sauce and Parmesan cheese; stir to coat.
