Bacon & Green Beans Pantacce

Bring a pot of well-salted water to boil to cook pasta. Once boiling add pasta and cook according to package instructions for al dente. Once pasta is al dente, save about 1 cup of cooking water then drain pasta. Set pasta and reserved water aside.

Heat olive oil on medium heat in a large saute pan. When oil is hot add bacon bits and stir. Once bacon has browned, after about 2-3 minutes, toss in sliced shallots. Let shallots get translucent and soft. Add in sliced green beans and saute for about 2 minutes until tender crisp.

Pour in milk and a dash of the reserved pasta water. Add in cooked pasta and stir well. If it looks very dry, add in more pasta water. Check for seasoning (the pasta water and bacon should be sufficient but check anyway in case). Serve!
