Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Frying Pan
  • Colander
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Kitchen Knife
  • Grater

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g PENNE PASTA
  • 200 g SMOKED BACON
  • 250 ml HEAVY CREAM
  • 50 g PARMESAN CHEESE
  • 4 SPRING ONIONS
  • 1 tsp BLACK PEPPER
  • 1 pinch SALT

Instructions
 

Step 1:

  • Fill a large pot with cold water. Place it on the big stove ring. Turn the heat to high. Wait for the water to boil fast.

Step 2:

  • Add a pinch of salt to water. Pour in the dry penne pasta now. Cook it for about ten minutes. Check the box for the exact time.

Step 3:

  • Cut the bacon into small squares. Heat your frying pan on medium heat. Place the bacon in the hot pan. Fry it until it looks very crispy.

Step 4:

  • Take the pasta off the heat. Use the colander to drain the water. Keep a little water in a cup. This helps the sauce stay smooth.

Step 5:

  • Put the pasta back in the pot. Pour the heavy cream over the pasta. Add the crispy bacon and the fat. Stir them together with your spoon.

Step 6:

  • Add the grated cheese and sliced onions. Sprinkle a lot of black pepper now. Mix everything until the cheese melts. Serve it while it is very hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh pasta to save some cooking time.
  • Add chili flakes if you like spicy food.
  • Do not overcook the noodles until they are mushy.
  • Keep the heat low when adding the cream.
  • Crispy bacon adds the very best texture here.
