Ingredients

Scale

8 ounces Spaghetti

1 cup frozen Peas

4 slices Bacon

2 tablespoons Butter divided

2 cloves Garlic minced

1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese

2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour

One 12-ounce can Evaporated Milk

2 tablespoons snipped fresh Italian Parsley

Grated Parmesan Cheese to serve

Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare pasta according to package directions. Add frozen peas for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Drain, reserving the cooking water. Set aside.
  2. Cook bacon according to package directions until crispy. Remove bacon and place on a paper towel-covered plate to drain. Allow bacon to cool enough to handle. Break bacon into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
  3. Place a small saucepan over medium heat. Add butter.
  4. When butter has melted and is hot, add garlic. Cook 1 minute.
  5. Whisk in the 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and the flour.
  6. Slowly whisk in the evaporated milk. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat.
  7. Stir in bacon pieces.
  8. Place prepared spaghetti mixture in a large bowl.
  9. Pour sauce and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water over top. Toss gently to combine. Thin to desired consistency with more of the reserved cooking water, if necessary.
  10. Add salt and pepper, to taste, if needed. Sprinkle with snipped parsley and additional grated Parmesan cheese.
