- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the mushrooms and garlic.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and black pepper.
- Reduce heat to low-medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in the crumbled bacon and sliced green onions.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
