30-Minute, One Pot Easy, Creamy Garlic Parmesan Bacon Pasta Recipe

Who doesn't love bacon? I mean, seriously. I don't know anyone who doesn't love bacon. It's one of the only foods in my family of picky eaters that everyone truly loves.

In fact, I came up with this recipe because we love to eat bacon but we wanted to eat it more often than just at breakfast or as a little extra flavoring in a dish.

I wanted a simple dish that had enough bacon in it that it would be filling and count as a main dish but would stretch my bacon farther - because if I let them my children would just eat a giant plate of bacon for dinner. So I took a bit of inspiration from my One Pot Chili Mac and came up with this one-dish recipe.

It's so easy because basically all you do is cook bacon in a pan, drain off the grease, add your pasta broth and cook it until it's done and has all the yummy flavor from the bacon grease and bits then add the crispy bacon back to the pan along with some cream and Parmesan cheese.

It's so simple my teenage son loves to make it, although I don't think I should compare his cooking abilities to most teenagers because he is getting to be quite the chef and cooks our family meals more often than I do now.

This has turned into one of my go-to recipes when I don't have anything planned and need something in a hurry and want something comforting and easy. I would love to know if you try this recipe and what you think of it. Please comment below and let me know what you think!

    This is our new favorite family recipe. Sometimes we even cheat and use pre-cooked bacon, although it doesn't taste nearly as good. This is just so, so easy. Sometimes I even switch it up and make it healthier by adding some cooked veggies, like zucchini or broccoli.
