3/4 pound bacon, chopped
8 ounces Atkins Spaghetti Pasta Cuts
1/4 cup chopped shallots
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup white wine
8 ounces mascarpone cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1. In a large skillet over medium-low heat, cook bacon until
crisp, about 12 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer
bacon to paper towels to drain; remove all but 1
tablespoon fat from the skillet. Crumble bacon.
2. While bacon is cookiing, prepare pasta according to
package directions, drain and keep warm.
3. Add shallots to skillet; cook 3 minutes, until translucent.
Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Stir in wine and
cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
4. Add mascarpone, salt and pepper. Stir until cheese is
melted, about 2 minutes. Mix in milk and parsley; cook 1
minute to heat through. Add pasta and bacon to skillet;
mix gently. Divide on six plates and serve immediately.
In Italy pasta is traditionally served as a small dish before the
entre. Because this recipe is so rich, we prefer to serve it as a
main course.
