Kentucky Hot Brown Pasta

I am a huge fan of Kentucky hot brown sandwich. So naturally, I had to find more than one way to enjoy it. This Kentucky hot brown pasta is the answer. A creamy sauce is laced with turkey and cheese, then spooned over pasta and topped with bacon and tomatoes. It's nouvelle (nouveau?) comfort food!

Ingredients:

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 12 oz. thin spaghetti or angel hair pasta
  • 5 Tbsp. butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 tsp. dry mustard
  • 1-2 dashes hot sauce (optional)
  • kosher salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 oz. grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded turkey breast or chopped deli turkey breast
  • 1 cup diced plum tomatoes

Preparation:

  1. Fry bacon. Drain on paper towels. Crumble and set aside.

  2. Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain, but do not rinse.

  3. Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the flour starts to darken, about 2 minutes.

  4. Whisk in milk and continue to stir until mixture thickens.

  5. Add dry mustard, hot sauce (if using), kosher salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings.

  6. Stir in half of the Parmesan cheese and the turkey. Remove from heat.

  7. Place pasta in a large serving dish. Pour turkey sauce over pasta. Top with crumbled bacon and chopped tomatoes.
