Recipe three in my celebration of Mushroom Week features pasta,
namely fettuccine. There are a lot of ways to fix fettuccine, but this is one
of my favorites. It is particularly easy to put together if you start your water boiling for
your pasta around the same time you cook your bacon. This way
everything tends to get done at the same time and you can toss it together and
serve. This is one of those 30-minute meals that come in so handy on busy days.
Creamy Bacon & Mushroom Fettuccine
4 slices bacon, cut into ½” pieces
4 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 Melissa's shallot, minced
4 ounces fettuccine, uncooked
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
1/3 cup whole milk
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried basil leaves
¼ cup freshly chopped parsley
Red pepper flakes, for garnish
Cook bacon until crisp; drain. Add mushrooms and shallots to the skillet, cook and stir about four minutes. Stir in reserved bacon. Set aside.
Meanwhile, cook fettuccine as directed on package in large saucepan; drain. Return fettuccine to saucepan. Stir in cream cheese, milk, garlic powder, basil, and fresh parsley. Cook and stir over medium/low heat until cream cheese melts. Toss bacon mixture with fettuccine mixture. Serve immediately. A sprinkling of red pepper flakes takes this over the top!
Makes two main dish servings.

There is nothing my husband loves better than pasta, especially fettuccine. This one looks similar to a sauce I make but better with the addition of mushrooms and bacon!
