Preparation

Step 1

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and keep warm.

Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp; remove bacon, reserving drippings in skillet.

Add artichokes, mushrooms, and scallions to skillet; cook 5 minutes over medium-high heat until tender. Stir in bacon.

Combine pasta, Alfredo sauce, artichoke mixture, pine nuts, and pepper in large bowl. Sprinkle each serving with Parmesan cheese.

Take the time to toast the pine nuts for this recipe. Toasting helps them stay crisp and enhances their rich, delicate flavor. To toast pine nuts, simply place them in a dry skillet over medium heat, and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often.
