BACON & MUSHROOM PASTA



Bacon & mushroom pasta image

A simple one-pan pasta dish with bacon, mushrooms and pesto - ready in under 30 minutes

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Pasta, Supper

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

400g penne (or other tube shape) pasta
250g pack chestnut or button mushrooms, wiped clean
8 rashers streaky bacon
4 tbsp pesto (fresh from the chiller cabinet if possible)
200ml carton 50% fat crème fraîche
handful basil leaves

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta in boiling water in a large non-stick saucepan according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, slice the mushrooms and snip the bacon into bite-size pieces with scissors or a sharp knife.
  • Reserve a few drops of the cooking water in a cup or bowl, then drain the pasta and set aside. Fry the bacon and mushrooms in the same pan until golden, about 5 mins. Keep the heat high so the mushrooms fry in the bacon fat, rather than sweat.
  • Tip the pasta and reserved water back into the pan and stir over the heat for 1 min. Take the pan off the heat, spoon in the pesto and crème fraîche and most of the basil and stir to combine. Sprinkle with the remaining basil to serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality bacon: The better the bacon, the better the dish will be. Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the bacon, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the bacon from cooking evenly. Cook the bacon in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the mushrooms until they are browned: When cooking the mushrooms, cook them until they are browned. This will bring out their flavor.
  • Use a good quality pasta: Use a good quality pasta for this dish. A pasta that is made with durum wheat will hold its shape better and will not get mushy.
  • Reserve some of the pasta water: When cooking the pasta, reserve some of the pasta water. This can be used to thin out the sauce if necessary.
  • Add the bacon and mushrooms to the pasta: Once the pasta is cooked, add the bacon and mushrooms to the pasta. Stir to combine.
  • Garnish with parsley: Garnish the dish with parsley before serving.

Conclusion:

This bacon and mushroom spaghetti is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover bacon and mushrooms. The dish is packed with flavor and is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
