Recipe Notes

Ali’s recipe calls for 1/2 cup of white wine with the option of using 1 full cup.  I prefer the taste and texture with the full cup of wine but you can certainly use less if you so desire.

The original recipe has you adding 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese in with the pasta, bacon and asparagus as you toss them together.  I try to avoid the Parmesan so I generally add it in only at the end.
