Calories: 363kcal
Ingredients
- 16 oz linguine or other pasta of your choice
- 8- 10 slices bacon cut into pieces
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup sour cream full fat
- 1 bunch green onions chopped white and green parts divided
- 1 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the pasta as per package instructions. Drain with a colander and keep aside, but reserve some of the pasta water for loosening the sauce later if needed.
- In a skillet, fry the bacon pieces until crisp. Remove the bacon pieces, but leave the bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add the garlic and white parts of green onion to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
- Add the flour to the skillet while whisking constantly so it doesn’t clump together or burn. Cook for another minute or two.
- Add the milk to the pan, whisking thoroughly, and let the sauce thicken.
- Stir in the sour cream.
- Add the cooked pasta, reserved bacon, and green onion tops and mix together. If the pasta is too thick, add a bit of the pasta water to thin the sauce until you get the consistency you desire.
