Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Cook the pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.

2
Cook the bacon

In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and chop it into small pieces.

3
Prepare the garlic

Mince the garlic cloves.

4
Make the sauce

In the same skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Crumble the gorgonzola cheese into the skillet and stir until melted and well combined. Season with salt and black pepper.

5
Add the pasta and bacon

Add the cooked penne pasta and chopped bacon to the skillet with the gorgonzola sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly, adding some of the reserved pasta cooking water if needed to thin the sauce.

6
Add the Parmesan and parsley

Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.

7
Serve

Serve the creamy gorgonzola bacon pasta hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy the rich, creamy, and flavorful combination of tangy gorgonzola, crispy bacon, and tender pasta in every bite!
