Tried it and loved it. I liked it because it was so easy and not so rich. I used reduced fat cream cheese and fat free milk and it was still good.
Ingredients:
3 cups uncooked penne pasta
6 slices bacon, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 1/4 cups milk
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened & cubed
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions, drain.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp.
3. Remove to paper towels, reserve 3 Tablespoons drippings,
4. Saute garlic and onion in drippings until tender.
5. Add the milk, cream cheese and butter; stir until smooth.
6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and bacon; heat through.
7. Toss with pasta.
