Bacon Mushroom Truffle Oil Pasta
The most decadent pasta I've ever made, and some of the best I've had in general. I opted to make my pasta from scratch, which really took this recipe up a notch.
Ingredients
- 6 servings pasta (varies- I made from scratch and used all the pasta, you can also look at the box)
- 8 slices bacon
- 8 oz sliced portabellas
- 1 tsp jarred minced garlic
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup pasta water reserved
- 3 tbs truffle oil
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water when draining.
- Chop bacon into small pieces. Add to a large skillet and cook for a few minutes until grease starts to pool at the bottom of the pan.
- Soak up most of the grease from the bacon, add mushrooms, and continue to cook bacon and mushrooms until mushrooms are tender and bacon is slightly crispy.
- Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Take mushrooms and bacon off heat and add in pasta, cream, parmesan, and truffle oil. Add reserved pasta water a little bit at a time to loosen up the sauce (you probably will not use all the water).
