Creamy Mushroom and Bacon Pasta
Directions
- In a 12-inch skillet cook bacon over medium heat until brown and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving drippings. Add mushrooms, garlic, salt, and black pepper to skillet. Cook and stir 8 to 10 minutes or until mushrooms are tender and browned, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain.
- Add cream and broth to skillet with mushrooms. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until bubbly and slightly thickened. Crumble bacon; add to skillet. Stir in pasta, vinegar, and chives; heat through.
From the Test Kitchen
Creminis (sometimes called baby bellas) are portobellos that haven't matured. They are slightly firmer and fuller in flavor than button mushrooms. Substitute a mix of wild mushrooms for even more earthy flavor.

This is a favorite in our house. We like a little more sauce and a little less pasta. My husband requests this dish frequently. It makes good leftovers too.

I liked this, but I think because I used white wine instead of white wine vinegar. Kids enjoyed it too. Much better than the current rating gives it credit for.

A great way to enjoy all the best of a creamy pasta with mushrooms and bacon. Shallots were a good add and i subbed parsley for the chives the second time i made it. Delish! Bonus: super easy recipe to remember and repeat.
