My friend Linda was kind enough to let me in on this delicious specialty of hers!


Recipe Introduction


QUICK EASY AND DELICIOUS!


List of Ingredients





1-1/2 pounds spaghetti or vermicelli, uncooked

9-oz. bacon -- finely chopped

4-1/2 cloves garlic -- pressed

1 cup dry white wine(or use white grape juice with a splash of
vinegar)

1/2 cup chopped parsley

1 Cup of Half and Half

1/2 cup grated FRESH Parmesan cheese- tossed with 1 tablespoon flour

Salt and freshly ground pepper -- to taste



Recipe



Prepare pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, cook the bacon and garlic in a small sauté pan over medium-low heat until the garlic is aromatic and the bacon is lightly browned, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the wine, increase heat, bring the wine to a boil and cook until it has reduced by half. Add the half and half and bring back up to a slight simmer (not much--it will break) and whisk in the Parmesan cheese mixture, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat.

When pasta is done, drain it well and add it immediately to the bacon mixture.

Add Parmesan cheese and toss quickly. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper and serve.


Serves six.
