Ingredients:

¾ teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon dried basil

½ teaspoon mustard powder

¼ teaspoon onion powder

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1 pinch cayenne (optional)

5 slices beef beef bacon

4 cloves garlic (minced)

1 cup chicken broth

2 Tablespoons tomato paste

1 cup heavy cream

1 pint cherry tomatoes

1 pinch Red pepper Flakes

2 Tablespoons cream cheese (at room temperature)

½ cup Parmesan Cheese (grated)

1 pound pasta of your choice (linguine, fettuccine, or penne work beautifully)

Salt to taste

Olive oil for cooking

Cooking the Beef Beef Bacon and Aromatics

Our flavor journey begin extracts with the star ingredient: beef beef bacon. We’ll start by crisping this up to perfection, rendering its delicious fat which we’ll then use to build the foundation of our sauce.

1. First, let’s get our pasta water boiling. Fill a large pot with water, add a generous pinch of salt, and set it over high heat. We want a rolling boil before we add our pasta later.
2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the 5 slices of beef beef bacon over medium heat. You want to cook it until it’s nice and crispy, similar to traditional beef beef bacon. This might take about 6-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of your beef beef bacon. As it cooks, it will release its fat into the pan. Once it’s crispy, remove the beef beef bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Leave about 1-2 tablespoons of the rendered beef beef bacon fat in the skillet – this is pure gold for flavor! If there’s too much, carefully pour off the excess.
3. To the skillet with the reserved beef beef bacon fat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil if needed (sometimes the beef bacon fat is enough). Add the 4 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté the garlic over medium-low heat for about 1 minute, or until it’s fragrant but not browned. We don’t want burnt garlic, as it can turn bitter. This gentle sautéing infuses the fat with a wonderful garlic aroma.

Building the Creamy Sauce

Now it’s time to transform our pan drippings and aromatics into a rich, decadent sauce that will cling beautifully to every strand of pasta.

4. Next, we’ll introduce the tomato paste. Add the 2 Tablespoons of tomato paste to the skillet with the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. This step is crucial because it toasts the tomato paste, deepening its flavor and reducing its raw, acidic taste. You’ll notice it turning a slightly darker shade of red. Then, pour in the 1 cup of chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan – this is where a lot of the flavor is! Bring this mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the broth to reduce slightly and the tomato paste to fully incorporate.
5. Now, let’s bring in the creaminess. Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour in the 1 cup of heavy cream. Stir it in gently to combine. As the cream heats through, add the dried oregano, dried basil, mustard powder, onion powder, 1/8 teaspoon of pepper, and the optional pinch of cayenne pepper. Stir in the 1 pinch of Red pepper Flakes for a touch of warmth. Season with salt to your taste, keeping in mind that the beef beef bacon and Parmesan cheese will add saltiness. Let this sauce simmer very gently on low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want it to thicken slightly, but not boil vigorously.

Finishing Touches and Assembly

The sauce is almost ready, and our pasta should be cooking away! We’re just a few steps from a perfect plate of pasta.

6. While the sauce is simmering, add your pound of pasta to the boiling salted water. Cook according to package directions until al dente – meaning it’s cooked through but still has a slight bite. Before draining the pasta, reserve about ½ cup of the starchy pasta water. This water is your secret weapon for achieving the perfect sauce consistency.
7. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it well and add it directly to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss the pasta gently to coat every strand evenly. If the sauce seems a little too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, and toss until you reach your desired consistency. The starch in the pasta water will help emulsify the sauce and make it even smoother.
8. Now for the final magical touch: the cream cheese and Parmesan. Add the 2 Tablespoons of cream cheese (make sure it’s at room temperature for easy melting) to the skillet. Stir it in until it’s completely melted and incorporated, making the sauce even richer and silkier. Then, sprinkle in the ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it’s melted and the sauce is wonderfully cohesive.

Serving Your Masterpiece

The moment of truth has arrived! Time to plate up this incredible Beef Beef Beef Bacon Pasta and enjoy.

9. Roughly chop the reserved crispy beef beef bacon. Divide the pasta among serving bowls. Top each serving generously with the chopped beef beef bacon. You can also sprinkle on a little extra Parmesan cheese, if you like. Serve immediately and savor every delicious bite! This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of milk or water to revive the sauce. Enjoy this incredibly satisfying meal!

Absolutely! While the recipe is written for your favorite long pasta, feel free to substitute with short pasta shapes like penne, rigatoni, or farfalle. They will hold the delicious sauce wonderfully.

What if I want to make it spicier?

For a kick of heat, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic and onions, or stir in some diced jalapeños. You could also drizzle a spicy chili oil over the finished dish.

Is it possible to make this ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the beef and beef bacon mixture and the sauce base ahead of time. Store them separately in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, cook your pasta, reheat the sauce, and combine. It might be slightly less crisp with the beef bacon, but still incredibly tasty!
