Ingredients
  • 8 oz. linguine noodles
  • 4 bacon strips
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup 2% evaporated milk
  • ¼-1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • ½ cup frozen peas, thawed
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste
  • ⅛ tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan, divided
Instructions
  1. Cook linguine according to package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, arrange bacon strips on a microwave-safe plate covered with paper towels. Cover bacon with a paper towel and microwave for about 4 minutes or until crisp. Remove strips to cool. Then chop into bits and set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk egg, evaporated milk, bell pepper, peas, red pepper flakes, pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
  4. Stir in ¼ cup Parmesan and bacon; remove from heat.
  5. Drain linguine; return to pot. Add sauce and toss to coat. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and divide into 4 bowls. Enjoy!
