Quick Pasta Carbonara

An easy and quick carbonara...everybody loved it! Leftovers were great too.

-1/2 pound of pasta (my favorite is penne)
-6 slices of bacon
-1/2 cup cream cheese, cubed
-1 cup frozen peas
-1 cup of milk
-1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
-1/2 t garlic

Cook pasta as directed. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet. Drain bacon slices on paper towel. When cooled, chop bacon up. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet but drain the rest. Add remaining ingredients to skillet. Cook and stir until heated through and bubbly. Drain pasta and add to skillet. Add chopped bacon. Stir and serve.

As you can see, I popped some grape tomatoes in just before serving this batch.
