This is a definite comfort food and would go very well with white reisling.Green salad and crispy bread with dipping oil could only make it better.
Ingredients
- 8 oz. linguine (dried or fresh) shopping list
- 4 slices of thick-cut bacon shopping list
- 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth shopping list
- 1/4 cup milk shopping list
- 1 /2 freshly grated parmesan cheese shopping list
- 1.5 oz. brie cheese, rind removed and sliced thinly shopping list
- 4-5 reconstituted sun-dried tomatoes, chopped shopping list
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced shopping list
- 1/4 tsp dried basil (or a small handful of fresh basil, shredded) shopping list
How to make it
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat, until crispy. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook pasta according to pasta directions. (If you're using fresh pasta, you can wait until after you've finished the sauce to cook the pasta). Transfer the bacon to a plate, and set aside. Drain the skillet, saving the bacon fat for another use.
- Deglaze the pan with the chicken stock and milk, scraping up all the browned bits. Bring the liquid to a boil. Crumble the bacon.
- Slowly add the Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts.
- Season the sauce with cracked black pepper and basil, add in half of the bacon bits and all of the chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
- Reduce the heat to low, and gradually add the Brie cheese, allowing each addition of cheese to melt completely before adding more. The sauce will be pretty thick.
- The linguine should be cooked al dente by now; drain it well. Add the linguine to the sauce in the skillet and toss the pan lightly to coat the pasta with sauce.
- To serve: Transfer a portion of the linguine onto a serving plate. Garnish with reserved crumbled bacon and chopped scallions. Optional: Put a poached or soft-boiled egg on top, and lightly pierce the yolk before garnishing with bacon and scallions.
