Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream; bring to a simmer.

Add cooked pasta to the skillet; toss to combine with the sauce.

If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water gradually until desired consistency.

Stir in cooked bacon; mix well.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
