Directions: |
Directions:Heat salted water in a large stock pot. Meanwhile, in another large stock pot, cook bacon, stirring often, until brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Pour off excess fat; add butter and olive oil. When partially melted, add cream and chicken broth; heat to a boil. Spoon in the mascarpone cheese and whisk until the sauce is warm and creamy, about 1 minute. Cover to keep warm; set aside. Add the pasta to the boiling water, cooking until al dente. Drain the pasta, saving 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Add the pasta to the sauce. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, pepper and parsley. Toss well, adding the pasta water a little at a time, to help pasta and sauce blend together. Transfer the pasta onto a platter and garnish with extra parsley |

Notes: I found this recipe in the newspaper many years ago. It was created by Wolfgang Puck to serve at his restaurant...now do I believe that he would give out his sacred Fettuccine "Wolfredo" recipe...hmm, I wish! But I have made this recipe many times and it really is amazing. When people ask me what is in the sauce, they can't believe it is mascarpone cheese. Give it a try, I know you will love it!
