Here I use tagliatelle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wine<\/strong> &#8211; Any brand of dry white wine will do &#8211; doesn&#8217;t need to be expensive!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bacon<\/strong> &#8211; I recommend using streaky bacon so you can use the excess fat in the sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicken<\/strong> <strong>Stock<\/strong> &#8211; I make it using half a stock cube, but you can use ready-made if you&#8217;d prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic<\/strong> &#8211; Must be fresh (not the jarred stuff).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parsley<\/strong> &#8211; This adds a fresh burst of flavour and a pop of colour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream<\/strong> &#8211; Make sure it&#8217;s heavy\/double cream so the sauce ends up thick and luscious. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Shallots<\/strong> &#8211; These add a savoury depth of flavour to the sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parmesan<\/strong> &#8211; This will be stirred through the sauce, although you can finish with more if you&#8217;d like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1363\" data-pin-description=\"This creamy bacon pasta is way too easy and delicious not to try!\" data-pin-title=\"Creamy Bacon Pasta (easy &amp; delicious!)\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"overhead shot of creamy bacon pasta ingredients with text labels\" class=\"wp-image-28873 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/glamouraxis.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/creamy-bacon-pasta-ingredients-1.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-decoration:underline\">Crispy Bacon<\/h2>\n<p>A bacon pasta recipe requires the bacon to shine, so here are a few tips to bring out the best in the bacon:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Streaky bacon<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Aka regular bacon in the US. This is typically fattier than back bacon, so you get the bonus of the excess fat in the pan. Not only does this add flavour to the sauce, but it\u2019s perfect to recycle and use for frying the shallots and garlic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cold pan<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 starting the bacon in a cold pan will help render down the fat more efficiently, which in turn, results in maximum crispiness. From there, I fry the bacon on a medium heat. I don&#8217;t recommend cranking up the heat &#8211; you want to gradually draw the fat out of the bacon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remove<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 while you could leave the bacon in the pan as you simmer the sauce, I much prefer removing it and adding it in at the end, just so it stays nice and crispy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ideally, you want around 1 tbsp of excess fat left in the pan. If there&#8217;s more, just discard it. If there&#8217;s less, just top up with oil or butter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Process shots: add bacon to pan (photo 1), fry (photo 2), remove (photo 3), leave fat behind (photo 4).<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" data-pin-description=\"This creamy bacon pasta is way too easy and delicious not to try!\" data-pin-title=\"Creamy Bacon Pasta (easy &amp; delicious!)\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"4 step by step photos showing how to make crispy bacon\" class=\"wp-image-28876 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/glamouraxis.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/how-to-make-crispy-bacon.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-decoration:underline\">Creamy Bacon Pasta Sauce<\/h2>\n<p>Just like the bacon, we want to fry the <strong>shallots<\/strong> on a medium heat. This will give them a chance to soften and sweeten. From there, a quick fry of the <strong>garlic<\/strong> and we&#8217;ve completed the base flavour of the sauce.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">White Wine<\/h3>\n<p>This sauce benefits from a splash of wine for a few different reasons:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Balance<\/strong> &#8211; The wine cuts through the richness of the sauce and helps balance everything.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flavour<\/strong> &#8211; It adds a mellow background flavour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deglaze<\/strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s perfect for scraping any flavour from the pan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sauce Consistency<\/h3>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve reduced the wine, we&#8217;ll create a sauce with <strong>cream<\/strong>,<strong> chicken stock<\/strong>, <strong>parmesan<\/strong> and <strong>parsley<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll want the sauce fairly thick because adding the pasta will thin it back out again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Process shots: fry shallots (photo 1), fry garlic (photo 2), reduce wine (photo 3), add stock, cream, parsley and parmesan (photo 4), simmer (photo 5), add pasta and bacon (photo 6).<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" data-pin-description=\"This creamy bacon pasta is way too easy and delicious not to try!\" data-pin-title=\"Creamy Bacon Pasta (easy &amp; delicious!)\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"6 step by step photos showing how to make creamy bacon pasta\" class=\"wp-image-28875 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/glamouraxis.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/how-to-make-creamy-bacon-pasta.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Creamy Bacon Pasta FAQ<\/h2>\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\">\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1744307710658\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">do I have to add the wine?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Most of, if not all of the alcohol will burn off, but if you still can&#8217;t use it then use a non-alcoholic wine or leave it out altogether.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1744307721513\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I substitute the cream?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Using double\/heavy cream is important to create a thick sauce.

Check for seasoning and adjust if needed, then use tongs to transfer the cooked pasta straight from the pot into the sauce (embrace any excess water that comes with it). Toss to coat the pasta in the sauce, then add the bacon and continue tossing until the sauce thickens and clings to the pasta.

It&#8217;s fattier than back bacon, so you can render down the fat and use it to fry the shallots.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>b) Wine<\/strong> &#8211; This helps cut through the richness of the sauce and will also add a very faint background flavour. Most of, if not all of the alcohol will burn off, but if you can&#8217;t use it then use non-alcoholic wine or leave it out.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>c) Pasta<\/strong> &#8211; I like using long-cut pasta for this recipe (I use Tagliatelle here). I find it easier to toss and bind the sauce. You can use any type of pasta you fancy. For reference, 200g\/7oz is the dry weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>d) Stock<\/strong> &#8211; I use 1\/2 a chicken Oxo cube to make 80ml \/ 1\/3 cup stock. If you have ready-made stock obviously just measure that out. If you&#8217;re sensitive to salt you can use reduced-salt stock.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>e) Calories<\/strong> &#8211; Whole recipe divided by 2 with no
