Ingredients
How to Make It
Step 1
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
• Coat an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray (9-by-13-inch baking dish for 4 servings).
• Place bacon on a baking sheet; roast on top rack until crispy, 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop.
Step 2
• Once water is boiling, add penne to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes.
• Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain.
Step 3
• While pasta cooks, trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus; cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Zest and quarter lemon.
Step 4
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until lightly browned and tender, 4-6 minutes.
• Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds more.
Step 5
• Return drained penne to empty pot; add cooked veggies and half the chopped bacon.
• Add stock concentrate, sour cream, cream sauce base, juice from half the lemon, and a pinch of lemon zest. Stir to combine, adding splashes of reserved pasta cooking water as needed until everything is coated in a creamy sauce.
Step 6
• Transfer pasta mixture to prepared baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with Parmesan.
• Bake on top rack until cheese melts, 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining chopped bacon.
Step 7
• Let pasta bake rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve family style directly from baking dish with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
