1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese

Jill's Tips:
- I like to chop the bacon
- I only do about 1/4 cup or so of the fresh parsley
- You can use dried parsley as well - but just about 1 tablespoon crushed
- I use about 3/4 - 1 cup parmesan cheese - I like it thicker and cheesier
- The sauce can be pretty runny, so I have even doubled the pasta (the 20 oz package) and not doubled the sauce and it works out great
- We also find that this serves more around 2 1/2, but we usually just eat this with no side dishes
