Mushroom Pasta

This is one speedy recipe, yet tastes divine... a super combo for any short-cut cook! And with all the holiday parties approaching... something different to bring!

Serves: 6-8 as a side
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes total

Cook 1 lb box of medium-sized pasta (penne, ziti are great)

Meanwhile, cook an entire 12 oz. package of microwave bacon (saving yourself an icky greasy pan to clean later!)(Or brown up about 12 slices if you like messes. Drain well.)

When pasta is done, drain, return to pasta pot and stir in:
2 - 8 oz. cartons of sliced mushrooms (can mix types)
1 c. chopped green onions (abut 6-7)
2 - 16 oz. jars Alfredo sauce
Generous dash of:
cayenne pepper
salt
garlic powder
1 c. grated Parmesan cheese
and at the very end, the crumbled bacon.

Serve now or store covered in refrig to reheat nicely.
