Mushroom, Bacon, and Parmesan Spaghetti

Ingredients

  • 8 oz spaghetti
  • 8 pieces bacon (about half a pack)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup onion, diced (about ¼ of an onion)
  • 8 oz baby bella mushrooms
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup parmesan, grated
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ¼ tsp thyme

Steps

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook spaghetti 10–12 minutes until done. Drain and set aside.
  2. While spaghetti is cooking, cut bacon into bite-size pieces and cook over medium heat in a large saute pan until done, about 8–10 minutes. Remove bacon from pan and place on a plate.
  3. Add in garlic and onions and cook 5–6 minutes until onions are soft. Add mushrooms and cook another 3–4 minutes until they are tender. Add in the bacon.
  4. Change heat to medium-low. Pour in heavy cream and stir well. Slowly add parmesan and mix to ensure it doesn’t clump. Let simmer 2–3 minutes to thicken.
  5. Add pasta and stir so it’s fully covered. Serve warm.

From the margins

  • You can make this in one pot: cook the spaghetti in a large pot, drain and set aside, then use the same pot for the rest.
