Instructions to make Easy Creamy Bacon, Asparagus, Tomato Pasta with Boursin (or Cream Cheese):
- In a large frying pan, bring 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil up to medium heat, add bacon to the pan, and render the bacon to your desired doneness. I like to render it about a third and still have some pork fat left on the bacon pieces.
- Turn heat to high, add asparagus, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add another 1 Tablespoon of olive oil, add tomatoes, and cook the tomatoes for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Don't fear the high heat - the liquid and volume of the asparagus and tomatoes will keep things from burning.
- Add garlic and three-quarters of the parsley, stir to incorporate, and cook until garlic is translucent.
- Add pasta, lemon juice, and cheese, and stir or toss everything together. Give the cheese a minute or so to melt, stirring a couple of times in the process. - - At this point, you'll want to salt to taste. I used about 1/2 teaspoon. Didn't need much because of the salt from the bacon and the cheese.
- When the cheese is melted, give everything another gentle toss to make sure all the ingredients are incorporated, sprinkle the rest of the parsley on top, and enjoy! :)
I was inspired by my Shrimp and Bacon Pasta, but I wanted something even simpler (and without the shrimp, obviously). The tomatoes lighten the dish up a bit as they soften. This dish is so versatile, it's one of my go-to quick weeknight dinners. But I like to try different variations too, like: Using any green vegetable (fresh or frozen) that you have on hand to keep it vegetarian - such as green beans, asparagus, spinach or broccoli Adding cooked bacon, chicken or shrimp for an added boost of protein When the pasta is cooked, drain it. Creamy tomato pasta is an easy main dish recipe that combines cream cheese with classic tomato sauce and spaghetti.
