Recipe: Mushroom Pasta Carbonara


Mushroom Pasta Carbonara

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!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
