I have a wonderful pasta recipe to share with you today.  I loved this pasta - it was delicious and creamy without being too rich.

Original recipe from What Katie Ate - See it here.  I found the recipe through a post on The Lush Chef.

Ingredients:

- 6-8 slices of bacon, chopped

- Olive oil

- Butter

- 4-5 green onion/scallions

- 2 cups of mushrooms, sliced (your choice of variety)

- 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest

- large handful of basil leaves, roughly chopped

- 1-1/4 cup heavy cream

- 1/4 cup dry white wine

- salt & pepper

- 12 oz spaghetti

- Freshly grated Parmesan

1.  Cook spaghetti according to package instructions.  Meanwhile, add a little olive oil to large skillet and add bacon, cooking until crispy.  Add the onions and cook until soft, about three minutes.  Add mushrooms and saute five minutes more.

2.  Add one tablespoon of butter and stir until mixture is coated.  Continue to cook five minutes more until mushrooms are soft but not mushy.

3.  Add the lemon zest, basil, and salt & pepper to taste, stir well.  Pour in wine and cream and stir until combined.  Continue to cook on a low simmer until thickened, five to ten minutes.  Add two tablespoons of Parmesan and stir.

4.  Add pasta to the mixture and stir until coated with sauce.  Top with additional basil and Parmesan when serving.  Enjoy!
