Notes

– Feel free to use any type of pasta you prefer, such as linguine, fettuccine, penne, or rigatoni.
– Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will provide the best flavor and melting quality.
– Ensure the bacon is cooked until crisp, as it adds texture and smoky flavor to the dish.
– Experiment with different varieties of mushrooms for varying textures and flavors.
– For a dairy-free option, replace the heavy cream with a plant-based cream or non-dairy milk thickened with flour. Vegan versions of Parmesan cheese are readily available in most grocery stores.
– Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
