Besides rice, pasta is my second love when it comes to food. But I don't like preparing pasta meals that will take much of my time and at the end I will not enjoy. I would rather stick on the idea of cooking pasta dishes in a matter of 15 minutes.
You may find this recipe different from the Italian dish you probably know. I do not use egg in this recipe because I do not like the texture of the sauce with egg on it. But it's up to you as traditionally, it should have one.

Ingredients:
300 grams penne pasta (or spaghetti)
150 grams unsmoked bacon (rashers) (chopped into small pieces)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
250ml Double cream
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions:
The idea of cooking this meal is so simple. In a pot with boiling water, add salt and teaspoon of cooking oil then put in the penne pasta. Cook the pasta depending on the instructions in the packaging.
Meanwhile, using a sauce pan, put the stove in medium heat, sauté garlic and chopped rashers in olive oil for about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the double cream and parmesan cheese. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes. You may wish to add a little milk to make the sauce a little runny. It really depends on your preference.
Finally, mix the pasta into the sauce. Best served with grated parmesan.
