Notes
- Pasta: Any short pasta will work – think penne, elbows, bowties, or my personal favorite, campanelle! These shapes are sturdy enough to hold up this delectable sauce.
- Bacon: We love thick cut bacon for this sauce, but regular works just fine.
- Sour Cream: You can use full fat or low fat, but we don’t recommend non-fat as it isn’t rich enough.
- Scallions: If you have someone who objects to scallions 🙋🏼♀️ parsley is a good sub…or you can just leave them out.
