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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
