Pasta With Bacon, Mushroom & Caramelised Onions image

I saw this on Better Homes & Gardens TV show, then in a magazine. It's become a family favorite - so light and yet so tasty! The "sauce" freezes well and reheats easily.

I'm a vegetarian so I omitted the bacon and it was still delicious.

I used whole wheat pasta instead of regular pasta and it was still really good.
