Ingredients | Carbonara Sauce Ingredients

3 cups rigatoni pasta

6 slices bacon, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 ¼ cups milk

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into cubes

½ cup butter, softened

½ cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese

¼ cup fresh green peas

¼ cup diced cooked ham

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 13 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving drippings in pan; set bacon aside.

Cook and stir garlic in the remaining bacon grease over medium heat. Add milk, cream cheese, and butter to skillet; stir until smooth. Stir Parmesan cheese, peas, ham, and bacon into cream cheese mixture; cook until peas are heated through, about 5 minutes more. Mix pasta into sauce to serve.
