Ingredients

150 g Orava bacon (or ham, hot dog, sausage or leftover meat)
1 container of sour cream
1 clove of garlic
a knob of butter
100 g processed cheese
1 onion
salt and pepper to taste

Preparation procedure

Cooking the pasta Cook the pasta in the usual way in salted water according to the instructions on the package. After cooking, drain them, but you can keep some of the water aside in case you need to thin the sauce.
Frying the bacon and onion In a larger pan, melt the butter and sauté the finely chopped onion in it. Add the bacon cut into cubes (or another chosen cured meat) and fry until golden.
Preparing the creamy sauce Add the processed cheese to the mixture and stir until it melts. Mix the sour cream with the crushed garlic, season with salt and pepper and pour it into the base in the pan.
Combining with the pasta Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, mix well and let it heat through briefly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the pasta cooking water.
Serving Serve the finished pasta immediately, sprinkled with chopped fresh parsley.
