Ingredients

  • 6 slices Bacon
  • 16 ounces, weight Pasta (I Used Fettuccine)
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 clove Garlic, Chopped
  • 1 pint Mushrooms, Cleaned And Sliced
  • 1/2 cups White Wine
  • 1/2 cups Grated Parmesan Cheese

Method

  • Cook 6 slices of bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crisp.
  • Remove bacon from pot to a paper towel lined plate.
  • Leave the drippings in the pot.
  • Cook pasta according to package instructions for al dente.
  • While pasta is cooking melt butter in a large saute pan over medium heat then add olive oil.
  • Stir in the garlic.
  • Carefully heat garlic for about 2 minutes then add your mushrooms.
  • When mushrooms are almost tender add the white wine and allow the wine to cook and reduce while scraping the bacon bits off the bottom of the pan.
  • Once wine has reduced into more of a sauce, whisk the Parmesan cheese into the sauce.
  • Ladle 2-3 tablespoons of the starchy pasta water into the sauce and continue to whisk.
  • When the pasta reaches al dente, drain off the water and put pasta into the pan with the mushroom sauce.
  • Stir around and cook a few more minutes until thickened then serve with additional Parmesan cheese and crumbled bacon.
