Como fazer Bacon And Mushroom Penne With Sun Dried Tomato Pesto
- Cook 1 pound penne pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking liquid before draining.
- While pasta cooks, chop 4 ounces bacon into 1/2-inch pieces. Fry gently in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.
- Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the bacon fat and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup packed sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed), 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato oil, 2 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Add the cooked mushrooms and crispy bacon to the pesto.
- Add the drained pasta to the pesto mixture. Toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Stir in 1/4 cup sunflower seeds (optional).
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
