Ingredients
375 g bowtie pasta
1 lemon
1 cup Schneiders Bacon Crumbles
¼ cup whipping cream (35%)
¼ cup softened unsalted butter
1 cup freshly grated Parmiggiano-Reggiano cheese
¼ tsp pepper
Directions
In large pot of boiling, salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ¾ cup of the pasta water, then drain.
Meanwhile, finely grate remaining lemon zest into small bowl. Squeeze enough of the lemon juice to yield 2 tbsp and add to bowl.
Return pot to heat over medium-high. Add bacon to pan. Cook, stirring for 30 seconds until heated and sizzling. Add drained pasta, cream and lemon juice mixture. Add butter and cheese. Stir and toss pasta constantly, until butter and cheese is melted, loosening sauce with enough of the pasta water to coat pasta generously.
Season with pepper.
Tip: This rich meal is special enough for a date night or party, but easy enough for a weeknight.
Garnish with paper thin slices of lemon zest and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
