🍴Servings: 2 🍽️ Pre: 5 mins 🥓Cook: 20 mins
🥓INGREDIENTS:
- 3 Tbsp. bacon grease divided
- 2 oz. bacon, cut cross- wise into ½” pieces
- 1 1/2 c. sliced mushrooms
- Kosher salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp. fresh rosemary, minced
- 8 oz. fresh or dried tagliatelle
- 1/4 c. dry white wine
- 1/2 c. heavy cream
- 1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
🍳INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1:
In a large, high- sided skillet, heat 2 tablespoons bacon grease over medium- low heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 5- 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving as much fat in the pan as possible.
Step 2:
Increase heat to medium- high and add mushrooms. Cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Season with ¼ teaspoon salt, and transfer to the plate with the bacon. Reserve the skillet.
Step 3:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Add tagliatelle and cook until very al dente, a few minutes shorter than the time indicated on the package. (It should be very chewy.) Reserve at least 1 ½ cups of the pasta water before draining.
Step 4:
Heat 1 tablespoon bacon grease in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and rosemary, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine and cook until the pan is almost dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the pasta, 1 cup pasta water, cream, and ½ teaspoon salt and cook, tossing frequently, until pasta is cooked to al dente and the cream and cooking liquid have emulsified into a creamy sauce. (Add more pasta water if necessary.)
Step 5:
Add bacon and mushrooms, remove skillet from the heat and toss in Parmesan.
Step 6:
Top with additional Parmesan to serve.
