Cooking Steps
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice mushrooms.
- Strip 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) thyme leaves from stems.
- Peel, then cut half the onion (whole onion for 4 servings) into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Cut bacon crosswise into 1/4-inch strips.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add bacon. Cook for 5-7 min, stirring occasionally, until crispy.**
- Remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a small bowl. Set aside.
- Discard all but 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) bacon fat from the pan.
- Reheat the pan with reserved bacon fat over medium-high.
- When hot, add mushrooms, onions and thyme. Cook for 5-6 min, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Add garlic puree. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
- Meanwhile, to the boiling water, add linguine. Cook for 10-13 min, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water. Strain linguine, then return to the pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, to the pan with mushrooms, add cream cheese. Stir for 1-2 min, until cream cheese melts.
- Add broth concentrate and spinach. Stir for 1-2 min, until spinach wilts.
- When linguine is done, add sauce, reserved pasta water, half the bacon and half the Parmesan to the pot.
- Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Divide bacon and mushroom linguine between bowls.
- Sprinkle remaining bacon and remaining Parmesan over top.
