It’s no secret that I’m a BIG fan of simple pasta dishes, and I think most of us are. What we need is variation though, so here’s another 10 minute cracker to get your family licking their lips and asking for seconds. When I created this Pasta with Bacon recipe, I knew I wanted to replicate what’s great about my Prawn Pasta, Halloumi Pasta and Smoked Salmon Pasta recipes (namely speed, deliciousness and simplicity). I think we’ve nailed it here and I hope you love it! Get it on those meal plans – it’s another easy midweek win.
Why you’ll love this Creamy Bacon Pasta recipe
⭐️ Ready in just 10 MINUTES ⭐️ A few inexpensive ingredients ⭐️ So tasty and healthy A pack of bacon is quite often at the back of the fridge, has a relatively long shelf life so we can reach for it on time-poor days, and it brings SO much flavour to a dish. We initially tried making this with tomato puree, but it didn’t quite hit the mark in terms of flavour. Having used sundried tomatoes recently in my Marry Me Chicken recipe, we thought we’d use that here and… OH HELLO! It was so good. The addition of that shortcut of cream cheese creates a delicious creamy and decadent sauce that offsets the bacon’s saltiness and the peas’ sweetness perfectly. You may need a drop of water to loosen the sauce up again.In the freezer I’m not a big fan of freezing pasta as it can go quite mushy when defrosted and reheated. All that said, there’s nothing wrong with freezing for a lunch if you have leftovers. It’s just not quite as good as fresh or reheated from the fridge.
