How to Make Creamy Herbed Parmesan Pasta Sauce With Bacon And Mushrooms
- Cook 1 pound pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, cook 4 slices bacon until crispy. Remove bacon from pan, crumble and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan.
- Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms to the pan with bacon grease and cook over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour cream mixture into the pan with mushrooms and garlic. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
- Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Add reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon. Serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired.
