Creamy Bacon Asparagus Pasta
This dish originated from my grandmother's creamy asparagus she used to make every spring when I was growing up. I had the thought that adding bacon sounded good, and then decided to make it substantial side by adding some pasta.
Ingredients
- 1-2 cups cups chopped asparagus
- 4 slices bacon cooked and chopped
- 1 cup gluten-free pasta
- 1 batch cream of anything soup
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, prepare your cream of anything soup as directed.
- Once the soup base is ready, stir in the chopped asparagus, cooked bacon, and dry pasta. Make sure the pasta is mostly submerged in the liquid.
- Cover the pot and let it simmer over medium heat for 10–20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until the pasta is al dente (tender but still has a slight bite).
- If the mixture becomes too thick before the pasta is fully cooked, simply add a splash of milk or broth to loosen it up.
