Quick Penne alla Vodka

1 box of Barilla Penne
1 lb of center cut bacon
1 large clove garlic
1 jar of favorite vodka sauce (Trader Joes is the best I must say)
Heavy Cream
White wine
EVOO
Grated pecorino or parmesan

Add olive oil to saute pan and heat, cut bacon into small pieces ( I use scissors to cut strips) and add into pan. Once bacon is cooked about half way, add 1 clove of garlic chopped. Make sure not to burn bacon, I turn down heat half way through after I add garlic. Once bacon is cooked, drain fat and place back on stove. Add a little white wine to coat bottom, let that sit on simmer. In a separate pan you should have started to heat the jar of vodka sauce and add cream-about 1/2 cup. Boil penne per instructions, then add sauce into pan with bacon, then penne to the same pan and mix together well. Add fresh grated pecorino or parmesan to top it off with ground black pepper. Voila!
