Creamy Bacon Pasta with Peas
- 1 pound Rigatoni Pasta (I Like Pasta With Ridges To Hold More Flavor But Any Pasta Will Do)
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 1 Tablespoon Flour
- 1 cube Vegetable Or Chicken Bouillon
- 1/2 cups Milk, Or Up To Double The Amount, As Needed
- 1/2 cups Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 1 cup Fresh Or Frozen Sweet Baby Peas
- Salt (Optional, The Bacon And Cheese Add Enough Salt For Me)
- Cook pasta according to package directions, drain and set aside.
- Cook bacon over medium heat in a large skillet.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
- To the same skillet, add butter to the bacon grease.
- When melted, add flour and whisk until smooth.
- Continue cooking for about 2 minutes.
- Add bouillon cube and 1/2 cup of the milk and Parmesan cheese, whisking constantly until thickened.
- If it has become too thick, add more milk gradually until desired thickness.
- Turn heat to low.
- Stir in black pepper and baby peas.
- Add pasta to skillet and toss lightly in sauce.
- Crumble bacon and sprinkle on top of pasta.
- Serve immediately.
