INGREDIENTS

  • Pasta and Base

    • 8 ounces fettuccini, or other pasta
  • Meat and Protein

    • 🥓 4 slices bacon
  • Vegetables

    • 🍄 4 ounces sliced mushrooms
    • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes
    • 🧄 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • Dairy

    • 4 ounces Brie cheese, cut into small cubes

STEPS

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add fettuccini and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 12 to 13 minutes, or your preferred doneness. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water; set aside.

2

Place bacon in a large skillet over medium heat and cook on both sides until brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon to drain on paper towels, leaving fat in skillet. Break into bite-sized pieces when cool enough to handle.

3

Add mushrooms to skillet with bacon fat, stirring occasionally, and sauté until lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, and sauté for another 30 seconds to a minute.

4

Cut Brie into small cubes and add to the skillet, stirring to melt and combine. Add enough pasta water to form a smooth sauce, and stir in sun-dried tomatoes.

5

Add cooked fettuccini to skillet, toss to combine, and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with cooked bacon, garnish with parsley or basil, and serve immediately.
