Step by Step Method
Step 1
Chop up the bacon and fry over medium heat in a large skillet.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Peel and julienne the eggplant. Cook it in the bacon grease until it softens.
Step 4
You can use the same pan if it’s large enough for all the eggplant.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Pour the cup of heavy whipping cream into the pan. Add the white wine and lemon juice then stir together.
Step 7
Add the cup of shredded Parmesan cheese and stir.
Step 8
Mix in about half of the bacon.
Step 9
Serve with the remaining bacon sprinkled on top. Chopped up fresh basil also makes a great garnish.
