How to Make Pasta Maldonado

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add 4 ounces of diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the pan.
  3. Pour in 10.75 ounces (1 can) of condensed cream of mushroom soup. Add 1/2 cup of water and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender.
  5. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces of fusilli pasta and cook according to package directions, about 7-8 minutes, until al dente.
  6. Drain the pasta and add it to the saucepan with the mushroom sauce. Stir in the reserved crispy bacon.
  7. Mix thoroughly to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  8. Serve immediately and garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
