Easy pasta carbonara

I hosted a Pampered chef party recently and have been addicted to cooking ever since! Now that I have the time in the evenings and know how to cook more fresh and since I earned TONS of free kitchen utensils I am putting it all to work! Tonight I made this recipe from a pamperedchef cook book and it was SUPER easy and yummy!

Ingredients:
1/2 12 oz pkg of uncooked turkey bacon
1 med onion
4 garlic cloves
1 pkg uncooked multigrain bowtie pasta
1 carton of uncooked chicken stock
1 can fat free evaporated milk
1 oz fresh Parmesan cheese
4 oz cream cheese, softened and reduced fat
1 1/2 cups frozen peas

To cook:
Stack the bacon and cut in half into multiple pieces. I have a pampered chef utility knife that is the best knife a person could have

Cook bacon in a skillet (I also have their non cook 12 inch skillet and literally nothing sticks to it! ) on med heat for 4-5 min

Finely chop onion, of course I have a Pampered chef food chopper .. It's a kitchen must!

Add onion and pressed garlic to the skillet and cook another 4ish minutes until onion is tender

Add pasta, stock, and evaporated milk cover and simmer DON'T boil for 12-14 minutes or until pasta is still a little firm

Remove from skillet and stir in cheese, cream cheese and peas. I got their rotary grater and let me tell you.,, fresh cheese taste sooooo much better and it doesn't have that powder stuff that's unhealthy for you on it like packaged cheese has.

Let stand and cover for 5 min or until sauce is thick and creamy!

If you don't have the pampered chef items I highly recommend buying them or hosting a party and getting them free. I buy and do parties for Holly at 2703624377!!!

Happy eating :)
