Ultra-Creamy Pasta with Bacon and Mozzarella

The method

1. 01

   Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions.

2. 02

   In a large skillet, add the bacon without any added oil and fry over medium heat until it is nicely browned and crispy.

3. 03

   Pour the cooking cream over the browned bacon and let it simmer for 2-3 quick boils to gather all the flavor from the skillet.

4. 04

   Add the grated mozzarella and the already cooked and drained pasta. Stir vigorously for 1 minute over heat until the mozzarella completely melts and coats the pasta in a silky sauce.

5. 05

   Serve immediately, hot and flavorful!

6. 06

   Chef's secret: Keep half a ladle of the pasta cooking water. If the sauce reduces too quickly when adding mozzarella, add a little pasta water – the starch will make the sauce even creamier and shinier!
