Best Creamy Mushroom Sauce for Pasta

pasta noodles (I used rigatoni noodles)

mushrooms (thinly sliced)

bacon strips (roughly chopped)

butter ((optional, see note))

garlic

flour

chicken broth

heavy cream

milk (or heavy cream)

salt (to taste)

½ teaspoon coarsely cracked black pepper (or 1/8 teaspoon finely ground black pepper)

parmesan cheese (optional topping)

parsley (optional garnish)

Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain, toss with a drizzle of olive oil, and set aside.

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium high heat until just crisp (don&#39;t overcook it). Use tongs to transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly before roughly chopping. *Keep bacon drippings in the pan* (See note for alternate method)

Over medium-high heat, add garlic and mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until garlic is fragrant and mushrooms are tender. Stir in bacon pieces.

Sprinkle flour over the garlic, mushrooms, and bacon and stir for 1 minute.

Gradually whisk in chicken broth, then heavy cream, and milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a high simmer.

Simmer for 5-10 minutes until sauce becomes thickened and creamy.

Season with salt and pepper. Stir in pasta noodles.

Taste, add salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with parmesan and parsley if desired and serve. Enjoy!

Pasta with Bacon and Peas is a quick, satisfying, and inexpensive meal that you can make with ingredients that you can keep on hand.

Pasta with Bacon and Peas

pasta* (0.63)

bacon (2.06)

onion

peas (0.50)

Parmesan (0.44)

salt (0.02)

tsp black pepper (0.02)

red pepper (optional) (0.01)

Bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Once boiling, add the pasta and continue to boil until the pasta is tender (7-10 minutes). Reserve about a half cup of the starchy pasta water before draining the pasta in a colander.

While the pasta is boiling, cook the bacon. Add the bacon to a large skillet and cook over medium heat until brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel lined plate with a slotted spoon. Drain most of the bacon grease from the pan, leaving about 2 Tbsp.

While the bacon is cooking, finely dice the onion. Add the diced onion to the remaining bacon grease and sauté until tender (about 5 minutes).

Add the frozen peas and about ¼ cup of the reserved pasta water to the skillet. Continue to cook and stir until the peas have heated through.

Add the drained pasta to the skillet, stir to combine, and remove from the heat.

Top the pasta with Parmesan, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, and crumbled bacon. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper to your liking.

Pasta with Sour Cream Sauce

bacon,

short pasta (penne, ziti, etc)

(4 tablespoons) butter

sour cream

poppy seeds

Cook your bacon until it is nice and crispy and set aside.

Cook pasta according to package directions and drain. Return to the hot pasta pot.

Put the pot on the lowest heat setting on your stove and stir in butter and sour cream. Stir until both are melted and combined into the pasta.

Stir in scallions, poppy seeds and cooked bacon.

This came out so tasty! The sauce is nice and light and the poppy seeds bring pop the flavors perfectly. Loved it!!

I was hopeful because this recipe used ingredients that I already had at home and was trying to use up. However, I found the ingredients really not to do anything special and not blend well together so I was disappointed
