Servings 4 to 6.

This is delicious and very tasty. I sometimes add fresh diced Roma tomatoes to it for a little variation.

12 to 15 slices of bacon
1/2 C. sliced fresh mushrooms
2 garlic cloves minced
16 oz. cooked and drained penne pasta
1 C. grated parmesan cheese
2 C. heavy cream
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 C. sliced green onions

Cook bacon until crisp, remove and drain on paper towels and crumble.

Reserve 2 Tbsp. bacon drippings in same skillet, add mushrooms and garlic and cook until tender. Stir in cooked pasta and the next three ingredients. Simmer over med. to low heat stirring often until sauce is thickened. Stir in bacon and green onions, mixing to incorporate.

Serve hot.
