This is a new recipe I have made recently and have saved it for my keeper file. Simple ingredients to make a delicious and different pasta dish! Pair it with a salad and breadsticks and you have a wonderful dinner for any day of the week.
Ingredients
2-1/2 cups uncooked mostaccioli
8 bacon strips, diced
1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) whole mushrooms, drained
3/4 cup half-and-half cream
1/3 cup butter, cubed
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon minced garlic
6 to 8 drops hot pepper sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup sliced green onions
Directions
1. Cook mostaccioli according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels to drain. Brown mushrooms in drippings; remove to paper towels. Drain drippings from pan.
3. Add the cream, butter, parsley, garlic, pepper sauce and salt to skillet; cook and stir over medium heat until butter is melted. Drain mostaccioli; add to cream mixture. Stir in bacon, mushrooms and cheese; heat through. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle with green onions.

***My tip: Cook the bacon very, very crisp! If you leave the bacon chewy, the dish isn't as tasty in my opinion. :) Just do it.
***I always cook my bacon in the oven now. I never do it on the stove. Line a baking sheet with foil. Lay out the bacon slices on the baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees until crispiness is desired. About 14 min - depending on how crispy you like it. It is the BEST way to cook your bacon!
