Como fazer Creamy Fusilli With Yellow Squash And Bacon

Bring a large pot of salted water (about 6 quarts) to a rolling boil.
Add 1 pound fusilli pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes, reserving 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
Drain the pasta and set aside in the pot.
While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet (12-inch) over medium heat.
Add 6 ounces bacon, diced, and cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, placing it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet. Increase heat to medium-high.
Add 2 medium yellow squash, diced (about 2 cups), and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the skillet.
Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat in the bacon fat.
Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash softens, about 5-7 minutes.
Uncover and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the squash is tender and the liquid has evaporated.
Add 1 cup heavy cream and the cooked pasta to the skillet.
Toss gently to combine and cook until the cream slightly thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup grated Asiago cheese (or Parmesan). Add reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired sauce consistency.
Serve immediately, topped with the reserved crispy bacon and extra grated cheese, if desired.
