Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon, chopped (preferably thick-cut)
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Chopped
  • 1 lb. rigatoni
  • 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups chopped asparagus
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Gruyere
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

    1. Step 1In a large pot over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and drain half the fat.
    2. Step 2Add garlic to pot and let cook until fragrant, 1 minute, then add rigatoni and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook until al dente. (You want a little broth left in the pot.)

    4. Step 4Add in heavy cream, gruyere, and Parmesan and season with salt and pepper, then stir until creamy.
