Servings: 4

Ingredients

1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into bite sized pieces
8 ounces mushrooms, quartered
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
8 ounces fettuccine (or pasta of choice) (gluten free for gluten free)

plenty of fresh cracked black pepper
salt to taste
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped

Directions

Toss the asparagus and mushrooms in the oil, salt and pepper, place on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in a preheated 400F/200C oven until they start to caramelize, about 20-30 minutes, mixing half way through.

Start cooking the pasta as directed on the package.

Cook the bacon in a pan, pour off all but a tablespoon of the grease from the pan, add the garlic, cook for 30 second and turn off the heat.

Mix the egg, cheese, pepper and salt and parsley in a bowl.

Drain the cooked pasta reserving some of the water.

Mix the pasta, egg mixture, asparagus and mushrooms into the pan with the bacon,adding reserved pasta water as needed.

 

Note: To speed things up, about 20 minutes into roasting the asparagus and mushrooms, get your pot of water for the pasta on the stove and start bringing it to a boil.

Option: Replace the parmigiano reggiano with pecorino romano.
