Bacon Asparagus Pasta
Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 20 Minutes
Servings: About 4
Directions
1.
Start by getting a large pot of water to a boil and getting the pasta cooked. The time that you keep the pasta in will depend on the type that you use, but you want it to come out al dente
2.
Heat up your saute pan and cook up the bacon until crispy. As you remove the bacon you want to keep the grease in the pan since you will be using it on the next few steps.
3.
Add the asparagus to the pan to let it saute in the grease. This will take about 5-6 minutes then remove it with a slotted spoon.
4.
Once you have removed the asparagus start to add the white wine or chicken broth. Make sure to scrape up any cooked on bacon to add to the sauce. You will want to cook this for about 5 minutes or until half of the wine/broth has cooked off.
5.
Drain the pasta once it is fully cooked. Then add it to the pan along with the bacon and asparagus and ¼ cup of the cheese.
