Garlic, Parsley and Bacon Pasta

2024, Jan 14    

I hosted another pot luck party today for 6 lovely ladies and I made this. Stress free recipe that tastes good at room temperature too.

Ingredients:

  • 12 cloves of garlic, finely minced
  • 1 lb of any kind of pasta
  • 1 bunch of parsley, finely chopped
  • As little or as much bacon as you like, diced
  • Chili flakes
  • Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  1. Boil pasta in salted water
  2. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil, add bacon, minced garlic and chopped parsley. Stir fry for 5 minutes or so
  3. Add some chili flakes if you like it a bit spicy, salt and ground pepper
  4. Add 1/2 cup of the pasta water (from step 1) to make a thin sauce, stir for 1 minute
  5. Add cooked pasta, mix it well
  6. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and top it with a generous amount of parmesan cheese
