Creamy Garlic Pasta with Bacon and Pickles

1.Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2.In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

7.Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy sauce.

8.Stir in the chopped pickles and crumbled bacon, mixing well to distribute evenly throughout the pasta.
