Recipe day

I invented a new recipe the other night. Mostly, I was just trying to come up with something for dinner as quickly as possible without going to the store. And we were out of almost everything. I thought I'd share it with you, since it turned out quite delicious. Sorry there aren't any pictures!

Bacon-Mushroom Alfredo

Ingredients:

bacon

mushrooms

parmesan cheese

milk

butter

salt

pepper

noodles of some kind - I used a package of cheese tortellini from Trader Joe's

In a large skillet, cook the bacon 

Remove bacon to a plate and wrap it in paper towels

Pour off most of the bacon grease, but leave about 1/2 cup in the pan (I'm totally guessing on all the amounts, I didn't measure anything)

Add about 1/2 a stick of butter to the pan (did I mention this meal is super-duper healthy?)

When butter is melted, add about 1/2 cup (or less?) milk

Add sliced mushrooms until they soften a bit

Add a generous amount of parmesan cheese

At this point, you'll just keep cooking and stirring and adding the cheese until it comes to a thickish, alfredo-ey consistency

Crumble in the bacon, salt and pepper to taste

Pour over the noodles, which you probably needed to start cooking sometime near the beginning.

Eat it all, and forget about taking pictures, because it's not a pretty meal, just a good one.

Enjoy!
