6 slices Jones Dairy Farm Sliced Bacon, diced
2 ½ cups heavy cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 ¼ cups shredded gruyere cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
