Fettuccine With Bacon Peas And Parmesan Recipes

BACON AND PARMESAN PENNE PASTA

Steps:

• Place the chopped bacon and onion in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir until the bacon is crisp and the onion is beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
• While the bacon and onion are cooking, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the penne, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain pasta, transfer to a large serving bowl, and stir in the olive oil to coat the pasta.
• Drain the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving a couple of tablespoons or to taste. Stir the cooked bacon mixture into the pasta, and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the pasta. Stir to mix in the cheese, and serve.

FETTUCCINE WITH BACON AND PEAS

Steps:

• Boil the fettuccine and drain and rinse with hot water and leave in colander till you are ready for it.
• In the same pan fry the bacon till it is crisp.
• Remove the bacon and in the same pan again, fry the onion and both peppers till they are tender.
• Now you'll want to add the pasta, bacon, and peas back to the onion and pepper mixture to the pan and toss keeping the heat very low till everything is hot. Add Parmesan and toss again.
• When you are ready to serve it top once again with the Parmesan.
• Serve with garlic bread.
• To make the garlic bread: Mix roasted garlic with unsalted butter and some fresh grated Parmesan cheese. Spread on sliced bread and toast. NOTE: Use as much garlic as you like! If you use roasted garlic it will have a milder garlic flavor.
