Creating Penne Pasta, Peas and Bacon is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Boil Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
2. Cook Bacon: While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
3. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add Peas: Stir in the frozen peas and cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
5. Make Sauce: Reduce heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine, then add grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Combine Ingredients: Drain the cooked penne pasta and add it to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the creamy sauce. Add in the cooked bacon and mix again.
7. Season: Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Adjust the seasoning to fit your preference.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
