Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • 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.
