Pumpkin Pasta with Bacon

Pumpkin Pasta with Bacon Recipe

Adapted from Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice



6 Slices of turkey bacon

1 large onion, chopped

1 tsp. thyme

Salt and pepper

4 garlic cloves

14 oz. pasta (I used Rotini Barilla Plus)

1 (15 oz) can of pumpkin

1 cup of sour cream, light



Cook pasta. Drain and set aside.



Cook bacon. Drain on paper towels.  Add onion to the same pan and cook for 6 - 7 minutes.  Add thyme, salt, pepper and garlic and saute for about 2 minutes. 



Add pasta to onions. Add pasta and sour cream, stir until combined. You may need to add some pasta water to it to get the right consistency. I didn't need to do this though. 



Crumble bacon on the whole thing or just crumble enough on each portion.
