It’s been a busy past few weeks in New Orleans. With plenty of spring festivals and friends visiting, it’s been challenging to get everyone together for Sunday dinner. However, this past weekend started with a trip to Albertsons on our way to a popular festival in Lafayette. Every couple weeks we drive out to the city to visit with family and stock up on our favorite Signature line grocery items. What I love about shopping at Albertsons is that it’s a one stop and shop type of place. They have over 4,000 Signature line items that I love to use in the kitchen. Everything from fresh produce to trusted home staples like pasta, condiments and fried chicken.

My boyfriend’s aunt travels 2 hours away to the nearest Albertsons’ store just to stock up on bacon once a month! I have to agree with her, this is the best bacon around! If you’ve been a long time followerof my blog, then you know I love to add bacon to just about everything!

The inspiration for this recipe came from a collection of my favorite pasta dishes. Also, I can’t pass up fresh spring vegetables that are in season right now. This time of year I love to cook with asparagus, peas, onions, and mushrooms. These vegetables meld together perfectly with the creamy pasta sauce. The tender crunch of asparagus and savory mushrooms, onions, and bacon tossed together in the spaghetti make this dish to die for!

The best part of this recipe is that it requires very little prep and then pretty much everything can cook at the same time.
