To Finish the Pasta: In a large saute pan, over medium high heat, add bacon and stir occasionally.
5
Once bacon is about 3/4 cooked, season with salt, white pepper and granulated garlic add mushrooms and cook them thoroughly. Note: If there's excessive rendered bacon grease, remove some.
6
Add pasta to the saute pan and stir well.

Next, add the sauce and bring to a simmer for approximately ten minutes.
