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.
