Speedy pasta bascaiola

Serves:

Ingredients

• 1tb olive oil
• 2 rashers bacon sliced/diced
• 1 onion, finely diced ¼ tsp black pepper
• 10-12 medium mushrooms, sliced
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 3/4 cup cream (you could use evaporated milk, but it will need thickening with 1/2 tsp cornflour)
• ¼ cup finely grated parmesan
• Pasta of choice (ravioli, fettucine, spiralli etc.) – about 5 cups cooked.

Method

Put water on to boil to cook your pasta, if you have none leftover.

In a deep frypan, heat oil and add bacon, onion, garlic and pepper. Sauté until soft.

Add wine, then mushrooms, continue to fry until soft.

Add cream/evaporated milk mixed with cornflour, wait to thicken, and then turn the heat down or off.

Add pasta and parmesan, sprinkle with parsley and combine well. Serve!
