30-minute four cheese bacon pasta bake

Pasta bakes are the ultimate comfort food, and this recipe is no exception. 

Preheat the oven to 500 °F. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, cook 4 slices chopped bacon, 1 small diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves for 4-5 minutes, until onions are softened. Pour in 3 cups chicken broth, 1 cup heavy cream, 3/4 pound fettucine and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until fettucine is cooked through, about 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour the creamy pasta mixture into a baking dish, and stir in 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese + 1/2 cup shredded Italian-style four-cheese blend. Add 1 cup frozen peas, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine. Top with another 1/2 cup of the four-cheese blend, and bake for 5 minutes until the top is melted and slightly golden. Serve immediately.
