Pappardelle with Leeks and Bacon

Pappardelle with Leeks and Bacon

This is a take on a more traditional Fettuccine or Parppardelle alla Carbonara which has a sweet creamy twist with the addition of the caramelized leeks.
Course Main Course, Pasta Course
Cuisine European, Italian, Mediterranean
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 bacon slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2" pieces
  • 2 leek medium leeks, white and pale-green parts only, halved lengthwise, sliced crosswise
  • Kosher salt
  • 3/4 cups whipping cream (30% to 35%) heavy
  • 2 tsp thyme chopped fresh
  • 1 lb pappardelle or fettucine
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated or Grana Padano

Instructions

  • Heat oil and butter in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring often, until fat is rendered and bacon is crisp, 5-8 minutes. Add leeks and season with salt. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring often, until leeks begin to brown, 5-8 minutes.
  • Add cream, thyme, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened and coats the back of a spoon, 5-8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 2 cups pasta cooking liquid.
  • Add pasta, Parmesan, and 1 cup pasta cooking liquid to sauce and stir to coat. Increase heat to medium and continue stirring, adding more cooking liquid as needed, until sauce coats pasta.
