Ingredients
Method
- 200g bacon
- 200g mushrooms
- Water
- Salt
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 400g spaghetti
- 350g Annabel’s Go To Creamy Onion & Garlic Sauce
- ½ - 3/4 cup milk
- 50g parmesan
Each meal kit include all the main ingredients, including a unique sauce and an easy-to-follow recipe for a quick, easy, and convenient weeknight dinner solution.
1. Finely dice the bacon and slice the mushrooms. Put to one side.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.
3. Start making the sauce before you put the pasta on to cook. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry bacon over a medium-high heat until starting to brown (4-5 minutes). Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook stirring frequently until starting to brown (3-4 minutes). Take off the heat.
4. Cook pasta uncovered for 1 minute less than the packet directions. When pasta is just about cooked, place bacon pan back on the heat. Add Annabel’s Go To Creamy Onion & Garlic sauce to bacon pan with ½ cup milk and bring to a simmer stirring to incorporate pan brownings.
5. Drain cooked pasta into a colander then return it to the cooking pot.
6. Add the sauce and drained pasta along with parmesan. Season with pepper and stir to combine and fully heat through. Add a little more milk as desired to get the sauce to the creamy consistency you like.
