Creamy Bacon Pasta Sauce

butter

olive oil

bacon

vegetables broccoli

garlic (finely chopped)

cream

(finely grated)

tsp black pepper (more

Cook your pasta according to instructions on packet (but undercook by a minute) in a pot of well salted boiling water.

Heat the butter and olive oil in a frying pan (that will be big enough to fit the whole dish at the end) and fry the bacon over medium - high heat until crisp. About 4 - 5 minutes.

Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving all the drippings behind.

Lower the heat slightly and add your vegetables, tossing to coat.

Add the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes.

Add the cream and pepper. Turn the heat down if you need, it should just be a gentle simmer here.

Sprinkle the parmesan over the top and let it melt into the cream.

Add your cooked pasta straight into the sauce with a little splash of pasta water and toss to coat.

Add the bacon pieces back in and give it a good toss.

Let it gently bubble away for a minute or two, adding more pasta water if you need to loosen.

Season to taste, it shouldn't really need anything as the bacon adds salt but you do you!

Serve with extra parmesan and enjoy!

Easy and  very tasty pasta recipe. Our family love it.

Delicious! Made this recipe with Brussel sprouts in winter and again with courgettes today. Worked so well with both vegetables.

Love this. Quick, simple to follow recipe and delicious. A dish for the whole family.

This was DELICIOUS. My husband and I just wolfed it down. Great way to use all the in-season zucchini and very easy to make. Def grate your Parmesan on the star side of a box grater if you don’t have a micro plane.
Seriously, Em, another absolute cracker. This will definitely be making another appearance at our house.

This is such a simple yet delicious pasta. I love the way you (Emilie) take such care in writing all the details of the recipe as well as the video. Extremely helpful as we try to duplicate your masterpieces. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

My husband and I disagree on pasta sauces - he likes them thick and creamy, I prefer a lighter cacio e pepe vibe. Made this to satiate him and it worked a treat. Perfect for also sneaky extra veges in when you've spent the week just eating potato chips and drinking wine!

Hello, I have frozen broccoli florets to use. Should I defrost them before adding to the pan? Thank you

Have made  this deliiiicious dish a few times now, so easy, so light and just so damn tasty! Works perfectly for lunch the next day at work too. Get amongst!
