Bucatini


I am making Bucatini for dinner tonight and thought you might like the recipe. Our favorite restaurant on the lake serves this and it is a fortune. It can be made at home for so much less and it is absolutely delicious!


This makes ONE serving.


4 oz pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 ozs bacon

2 large pinches black pepper

1 oz prosciutto

1 serving spoon of peas

1 large spoon sliced fresh mushrooms

1 1/2 oz grated parmesan and Romano cheese


Cook pasta 9 to 11 minutes in salted water according to package directions. Five minutes before pasta is cooked, begin preparing sauce. Saute bacon with olive oil in skillet until it begins to crisp. Add black pepper. Allow to stand for one minute. Add prosciutto, stir over heat for one minute. Add mushrooms and continue sauteeing and stirring for one minute. Add peas. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing peas to absorb flavors of the dish. Add cooked, drained pasta and toss gently. Add cheeses and toss again gently. Serve immediately.


You have to move quickly to cook this and be sure and serve right away...this is very important.


Enjoy!

  17. Hi Barb, the meal sounds delish, I may try this tonight. My husband is TDY this week to DC so I can have my pasta. He still calls them noodles and doesn't consider them real food. He doesn't have a clue. I would have starved as a child if it were not for "noodles. I love them anyway you can fix them.
    Your home is so beautiful and so nicely put together. It was a wonderful welcoming and homey feel. Love all your pictures you shared.
    Enjoy your dinner,
    Shanda
