Steps:

• 1. Cook the bacon in a large skillet until crispy. Set aside on a paper lined plate to cool, then chop.

• 4. Add the minced garlic and cook another minute or so, being careful not to burn the garlic.
• 5. Add the flour to the skillet. Stir and cook just for a minute. Add in the chicken broth and half/half or cream. Bring up to a simmer, stirring until sauce thickens.
• 6. Once sauce thickens, add in the cream cheese and pepper jack. Stir until melted.
• 7. Add in the cooked pasta and stir to coat all the pasta. Add in the chopped bacon and stir. Adjust seasonings with the salt and pepper and serve.
