In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan using a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

In the same skillet with the rendered bacon fat, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Saute for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Add the crumbled blue cheese to the skillet, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
-
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Be mindful of the saltiness of the blue cheese when seasoning.

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until the pasta is coated evenly with the creamy blue cheese sauce.

Stir in the cooked bacon, reserving some for topping if desired.
-
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and the remaining bacon.
