Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh parmesan cheese, flavorful butter, and a good quality olive oil can make a big difference in the taste of the dish.
If you don't have heavy cream on hand, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner and not as rich.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice. This is optional, but it can really enhance the flavor of the dish.
If you want a vegetarian version of this recipe, you can omit the bacon. You can also add some chopped vegetables, such as broccoli or zucchini, to the pasta.
Be careful not to overcook the pasta. It should be cooked al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.

Conclusion:

This 15-minute parmesan pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It is creamy, cheesy, and full of flavor. Plus, it is made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand. So next time you are short on time, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
