Ingredients

fettuccine with spinach, 8 oz

Time Needed

Instructions

A large pot of salted water should be brought to a boil.
Cook until the fettuccine is al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, while the pasta cooks.
Set aside the bacon using a slotted spoon.
Cook until the mushrooms are softened and lightly browned in the bacon grease, about 5-7 minutes.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes after adding the minced garlic and red pepper flakes.
Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water after draining the pasta.
Combine the cooked fettuccine with the mushrooms and bacon in a skillet.
To the skillet, add the reserved pasta water, grated Parmesan cheese, and butter.
Toss everything together until the pasta is completely coated in the creamy sauce.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately, if desired garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.
