Spicy Bacon Pasta - A Pinch of Geek

Ingredients

• - 1/2 pound of bacon cut into lardons
• - 3-4 cups of Blasted Broccoli (see recipe on other page) (great way to use leftovers if you have any!)
• - 2 cups of mushrooms (cleaned and sliced)
• - 1 large yellow onion chopped
• - 4 cups of milk (fat free is actually better here because of the high water content)
• - 1 cup of parmesean cheese - grated
• - 2-3 cloves of garlic - diced or minced
• - 1-2 Cups heavy whipping cream (or a small bottle of pre-made alfredo sauce to save you time)
• - 1/2 pound or 2 inches diameter of fettucine (I used a chipotle pepper fettucine for an added layer of flavor or you can buy the small box of fresh fettucine from store)
• - 2 tablespoons parsley
• Salt and pepper - you will need a lot more seasoning if you make the sauce from scratch
