Last night I made a pasta dish that has become a favorite at our house. It is from "Southern Living Ultimate Quick and Easy" cookbook. It is soooo easy.
16 oz. uncooked penne
1 lb. bacon
1, 8 oz package of sliced mushrooms
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 C. grated Parmesan cheese
2 C. whipping cream
1/2 t. pepper
1/2 C. sliced green onions
Cook pasta according to package including salt. Place back in pan after draining. (You will be mixing the pasta with sauce in this pan) While that is coming to a boil, fry the pound of bacon crisp. Drain on paper towel and reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings. Crumble the bacon.
Place the reserved drippings in the pan you fried you bacon in and saute the mushrooms and garlic for 3 minutes or until tender. Pour this over the pasta along with the Parmesan cheese, whipping cream and pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat, uncovered, until sauce is thickened, stirring often. Stir in crumbled bacon and sliced green onions and serve. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Sounds good if I can skip the mushrooms!
