Heavenly Pasta


During a weekend of a nice, slow, change of pace, we actually turned on the TV and watched some Food Network.  We watched a new show with a house wife that cooks at her ranch somewhere out in the middle of gorgeousness.  

This is a rendition of what she called her favorite pasta dish ever.  
My daughter insisted that we had to make it. 
So....we did that same night.  
We agree that it is the most delicious pasta dish ever.  

There is nothing healthy about it....just plain, old, full calorie goodness! 

Ingredients: Leeks, Bacon, Pasta, White Wine, Butter, Heavy Cream, Parmesan Cheese, S&P

  • Slice, soak, and clean leeks.  
  • Set aside to dry.
  • Chop and fry 1 lb. of uncured bacon.
  • Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Add 2 Tbls. of butter to the pan.
  • Add in all leeks and saute until cooked through and tender.
  • De-glaze the pan with about 1 C white wine (I used Chardonnay)
  • Simmer and reduce down.
  • Add back in bacon.
  • Add in 1 C heavy cream, simmer 
  • Season to taste with S&P (as needed)
  • Add in cooked pasta.
  • Coat all pasta with sauce.
  • Add in Parmesan Cheese.

Prepare for a bowl full of heaven! 
Enjoy!
