3. Make the creamy sauce — Pour in the heavy cream into the skillet with bacon and garlic. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Then add the remaining butter and stir until melted.
4. Add cheese and season — Add the grated parmesan and cheese to the skillet, stirring continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Combine pasta and sauce — Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy bacon parmesan sauce.
6. Serve — Transfer to serving plates and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and extra parmesan if desired. Serve warm and enjoy.
