Creamy Cavatappi Pasta

325 grams Cavatappi pasta ((about 4 cups))

2 slices thick cut bacon ((chopped))

2 tablespoons sun dried tomatoes ((drained and chopped))

3 cloves fresh minced garlic

½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper

½ cup heavy whipping cream

Reserved pasta water and chopped parsley for finishing

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add pasta and cook just until al dente.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet on medium-high heat until crispy.
Without draining, add the sun dried tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and cook 1 minute.
Add the cream and cook 2-3 minutes until the sauce comes together.
Before draining the pasta, reserve at least 1 cup of pasta water.
Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce, adding enough pasta water so that the sauce comes together. The starchy water will create a thick and luscious sauce.
Stir in fresh chopped parsley if desired and serve.
