Instructions to make Easy Creamy Bacon, Asparagus, Tomato Pasta with Boursin (or Cream Cheese):
  1. In a large frying pan, bring 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil up to medium heat, add bacon to the pan, and render the bacon to your desired doneness. I like to render it about a third and still have some pork fat left on the bacon pieces.
  2. Turn heat to high, add asparagus, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add another 1 Tablespoon of olive oil, add tomatoes, and cook the tomatoes for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Don't fear the high heat - the liquid and volume of the asparagus and tomatoes will keep things from burning.
  4. Add garlic and three-quarters of the parsley, stir to incorporate, and cook until garlic is translucent.
  5. Add pasta, lemon juice, and cheese, and stir or toss everything together. Give the cheese a minute or so to melt, stirring a couple of times in the process. - - At this point, you'll want to salt to taste. I used about 1/2 teaspoon. Didn't need much because of the salt from the bacon and the cheese.
  6. When the cheese is melted, give everything another gentle toss to make sure all the ingredients are incorporated, sprinkle the rest of the parsley on top, and enjoy! :)

The tomatoes lighten the dish up a bit as they soften. When the pasta is cooked, drain it. This dish is so versatile, it's one of my go-to quick weeknight dinners.
