Ingredients
- ½ pound pasta noodles - cooked as per package directions
- 1 bunch (about 15-20 spears) asparagus - cut into smaller sizes
- 3 large cloves garlic - each sliced into 3-4
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 cup bacon bits
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic - minced
- 1 small onion - chopped
- 7-8.5 fluid ounces all-purpose cream or heavy whipping cream
- 7-8.5 fluid ounces evaporated milk or fresh milk
- salt and pepper - to taste
- grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and garlic slices, sprinkle some salt and pepper and saute for about 3-4 minutes or until some sides are browned but the asparagus is still crisp. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, heat cooking oil over medium heat. Cook the bacon bits until browned. Remove everything from pan and set aside.
- Again in the same pan, saute garlic and onion in butter until tender. Add milk and let it simmer. Next, add the cream and let simmer until it gets a bit thicker, turn the heat lower. Add back the cooked bacon bits with oil. Season with pepper and salt.
- Once the sauce is thick enough remove from heat and toss in the asparagus.
- Place cooked noodles in serving plates and top with sauce then add Parmesan. Serve while hot.
