Creamy Mushroom Fettuccine

This was good.  D of course made it.  We originally had talked about putting some bacon in it that we had in the refrigerator but we used that for something else.  D remembered we talked about putting meat in it so he added pancetta.  He decreased the salt.

Kroger didn't have fresh pasta, so he used 8 oz of dried pasta.  As usual, we couldn't get 4 servings out of it.  The nutritional information is based on my changes/additions.

We would have again.  We had with a Caesar Salad.

The hot pasta will melt the Parmesan cheese and help the sauce cling to the noodles.
