This hearty one-dish meal combines smoky bacon with tangy cheddar for a family-friendly midweek meal that comes together in a flash. Ingredients:
2 bacon slices |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 cup finely chopped onion |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
1 cup 1% low-fat milk |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
5 cups hot cooked rotini (about 8 ounces uncooked pasta) |
3/4 cup frozen green peas, thawed |
Directions:
1. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan; crumble. Increase heat to medium-high. Add butter and oil to drippings in pan; swirl to coat. Add onion; sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add flour, and sauté 1 minute, stirring frequently. Stir in mustard. Gradually add 1 cup milk, stirring constantly with a whisk, and bring to a boil. Cook for 3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Add cheese, salt, and pepper, stirring with a whisk until smooth.
2. Place pan over low heat. Stir in bacon, pasta, and peas; cook for 1 minute or until thoroughly heated, tossing to coat.
