Quick Pasta Carbonara

1 pkg pasta 8 slices bacon 8 ounces cream cheese 1 1/2 cup milk 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 tsp garlic powder Cook pasta as directed on package. Meanwhile, cook bacon in large skillet until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon, reserving 2 Tbsp. drippings in skillet. Drain bacon on paper towels. Add remaining ingredients to reserved drippings; cook on low heat until cream cheese is melted and mixture is well blended and heated through. Drain pasta; place in large bowl. Add cream cheese sauce and bacon; mix lightly. My hubby is allergic to peas so I omitted them. Also I used the real pre-cooked crumbled bacon you get at Sams. It was a quick easy meal and yummy.
