Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound bacon
  • pounds eggplant
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 tablespoon white wine
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Chop up the bacon and fry over medium heat in a large skillet.
  • When the bacon has rendered out and becomes crisp then remove it from the pan and drain on paper towels. Save all of the bacon grease.
  • Peel and julienne the eggplant. Cook it in the bacon grease until it softens. In the pictures you can see that I changed pans because the first one wasn't going to be big enough. You can use the same pan if it's large enough for all the eggplant.
  • As the eggplant cooks it will soak up all the bacon grease. Create a well in the center then add the 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir all the noodles so that they become coated with the melted butter then mix in the grated garlic.
  • Pour the cup of heavy whipping cream into the pan. Add the white wine and lemon juice then stir together.
  • Add the cup of shredded Parmesan cheese and stir.
  • Mix in about half of the bacon.
  • Serve with the remaining bacon sprinkled on top. Chopped up fresh basil also makes a great garnish.
