Creamy Bacon and Pasta

Ingredients:

Serves 2-3 people - just add more ingredients if there are more people!

1 white onion
7 or 8 good sized mushrooms
1 pack of back bacon (8 rashers)
1 full mug pasta per person (you can use any type from tagliatelli, to pasta shells or fusilli). If you use tagliatelli, I use 3-4 balls per meal.
1 carton double cream - you can use single but double tastes better!
a good handful of chopped parsley.
Olive Oil

  1. Place a pan of salted water on to boil
  2. Slice mushrooms, and dice a white onion
  3. Cut up bacon into small squares
  4. When the water is boiling add the pasta (about 2-3 handfuls).
  5. Use a deep frying pan if you have one – add a little olive oil and fry the onion, then add the bacon and cook for 4-5 minutes, then add the mushrooms and cook for a few more minutes until the mushrooms are done.
  6. Turn the heat down and put the lid on, leave for 5 minutes but stir often.
  7. Chop up some parsley into small chunks.
  8. Pour in the cream and stir, add half the parsley, bring to the boil then turn down – do not let it burn!!
  9. You can use cornflour to thicken if you prefer, I like to do this.
  10. Add the pasta when drained and the last of the parsley, stir in and serve.
