Ingredients
- 6 lices Bacon cut into ½-inch pieces
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms sliced ¼" thick, white or brown
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup reduced sodium chicken broth
- 1 ½ cups half and half or light cream
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 package fresh fettuccine 8-9 oz or 6-8 oz dried pasta
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook bacon until crisp. Remove from pan & set aside.
- Leave enough bacon grease in the pan to lightly coat the bottom. Add mushrooms & garlic and cook on medium-high heat for about 3 minutes.
- Add chicken broth to the mushrooms and turn heat up to high. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Add in cream and cook until thick & bubbly. Add in bacon and cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions reserving ½ cup pasta water. Drain well and toss cooked pasta noodles with sauce.
- Sprinkle with parsley and season with pepper to taste.
Notes
- This serves 4 as a side dish or 2 as a main dish. Nutrition information is for 1/4 of the recipe.
- Be sure to reserve some pasta water to add to the sauce if needed. Pasta water can thin out the sauce to the right consistency and the starches in the water help the sauce cling to the pasta.
- Cooked shrimp, salmon, or chicken can be added to this dish (or served on top).
