Ingredients:

 

4 – 6 strips of bacon

½ cup chopped onions

8 – 10 fresh mushrooms, sliced

1 garlic clove, minced

½ cup heavy cream (35%)

1½ cups cooked tomato sauce

2 lbs fettucini pasta

 

Directions:

 

Cut bacon into 1" pieces.  Place in a deep frying pan and cook until approximately ¾ done.  Add onions, mushrooms and garlic.  Sauté until onions are tender and translucent.  Add cream and bring to a boil.  Add tomato sauce and reduce heat to low.  Allow to simmer for 5 – 10 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly.  Add fettucini and mix thoroughly.  Serve

 

Note: 

 

Although this recipe calls for fettucini, this delicious sauce can be served with gnocchi, tortellini, or ravioli.
