ingredients

1 pound pasta shells
3 slices bacon, chopped
8 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter
3 large Bermuda onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

directions

Grease a 3-quart casserole or 13- x 9-inch baking dish. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta for 8 minutes. Drain well.

Cook the chopped bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes or until almost crisp. Remove the bacon to a large plate; set aside.

Stir the mushrooms into the drippings in the pan to lightly coat. Cook 3-5 minutes or until the mushrooms are wilted. Add the mushrooms to the bacon.

Add the butter to the skillet; raise the heat to medium-high. When the butter has melted, add the sliced onions to the pan. Cook the onions, stirring them frequently with a spatula, for about 5 minutes.

Sprinkle with the sugar, toss to mix and coat well, and partially cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the onions until they are caramelized to a rich golden color, 20-25 minutes.

Add the reserved bacon and mushrooms to the onions. Pour in the chicken stock and toss to mix. Add the pasta and chopped parsley; mix well.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared casserole or dish. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes.

  1. RxVrka REVIEW:

    This receipe got a place in my favorite recipe book. For the pasta I used Kamut Spirals and I only used one onion. I did not have Burmuda onions. So I used a sweet onion. Next time I will try 2 onions and if that is not over bearing I will go to the 3. I also want to try it with regular pasta shells. Excellant
