Pasta with bacon, onions, and mushrooms

 

Oh, how delicious!  I can imagine this dish with prosciutto instead of bacon too.  I found the recipe in Martha Stewart Living magazine, back in April...but for some reason it took me awhile to get around to trying it.  I'm glad I finally did.  Some of her pasta recipes leave me cold, but this one is a keeper for us.  An unexpected (to me, at least) twist has you adding mint leaves.  Do!  Don't substitute parsley unless you really hate mint.  The flavor is more subtle than you'd think.  The only change I made was to sub rotini for fusilli.
