To make this dish, I started by cooking some small pasta shells according to the directions on the package.
Then I drained the shells and set them aside.
I heated some olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil was hot I added some chopped bacon to the skillet.
I stirred the bacon around well as it cooked to make sure it cooked evenly on all sides.
Once the bacon was all browned and crispy, I used a slotted spoon to transfer it to a paper towel lined plate.
I added some minced garlic to the skillet with the bacon grease.
I cooked the garlic for one minute.
Then I added some heavy cream to the skillet.
I stirred well and brought the cream to a boil.
Once it boiled I reduced the heat to low.
I added some cream of bacon soup to the skillet.
I also added some salt, pepper and chopped chives to the skillet.
I stirred all of the ingredients together well.
Then I added the cooked pasta to the skillet.
I stirred until all of the pasta was coated in sauce.
Then I added about 3/4 of the cooked bacon pieces to the skillet.
I stirred well again.
Then I removed the skillet from the heat.
I added some shredded parmesan cheese to the skillet.
I stirred until the cheese was melted.
I sprinkled the remaining cooked bacon and some chopped chives on top right before serving.
Then the creamy bacon shells were ready to serve.
This simple pasta recipe is packed with bacon flavour.
