Swiss Cheese and Potato Pasta

Ingredients

• 12 oz pasta
• 2 medium potatoes
• 4 slices bacon
• 8 oz Swiss cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 small onion
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 12 oz pasta and 2 medium diced potatoes, cook until pasta is al dente and potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.

2. 2

   While pasta cooks, chop 4 slices bacon and 1 small onion. Cook in a large skillet over medium heat until bacon is crispy and onion is golden, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, add 1 cup heavy cream and 8 oz shredded Swiss cheese. Stir over low heat until cheese melts into a smooth sauce, about 3-4 minutes. Season with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.

4. 4

   Add the drained pasta and potatoes to the skillet with the cheese sauce. Toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water a splash at a time if needed for a creamy consistency.

5. 5

   Stir in the bacon and onion mixture. Serve hot, garnished with extra black pepper if desired.
