Cheese and Bacon Pasta Recipe

I've been following the lovely Patricia on Instagram @its_gourmet_baby for a while now. I love the food she posts, it always looks amazing. I've tried many of her recipes and they have always been a winner with the family. I asked Patricia to share a quick and easy dinner that the whole family can enjoy.


Cheese and bacon pasta

Ingredients
3 rashers bacon
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 tablespoon plain flour
250mls chicken stock
125 mls thickened cream (full fat)
A handful of chopped shallots
3-4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
500g packet pasta of your choice

Method
Chop bacon (excess fat removed) and pop this is a pan with butter and crushed garlic and cook until butter has melted.
To this add plain flour and mix until it's combined and take this off the stove.
Slowly whisk in chicken stock and then thickened cream and whisk it until it's all combined.
Get it back to the heat and stir it until it's all bubbly and simmering away and gets a little thicker.
Add some shallots and some parmesan cheese and mix well.
Toss through some cooked pasta of your choice (I've used small spirals).
Plate and serve with a sprinkle of shaved Parmesan and some chopped parsley.
