Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces uncooked pasta (I used bucatini)
6 strips bacon (cut into small pieces)
7 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/3 cup chicken broth or dry white wine
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon flour
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 cup heavy/whipping cream
Salt & pepper to taste
For serving: freshly grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Boil a salted pot of water and cook pasta al dente according to package instructions.
  • Meanwhile, cut the bacon up (I use kitchen shears to make it easy) and add it to a skillet. Fry it until crispy over medium-high heat. When it's done, transfer it to a paper towel lined plate. Leave the bacon fat in the pan.
  • Add the mushrooms to the skillet, and cook them, stirring occasionally, for about 5-6 minutes or until they release water and it's been cooked off.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Take the mushrooms out of the pan (add them to the same plate that has the bacon).
  • Add the broth, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, flour, and Dijon mustard to the pan. Give it a good stir (only let it cook for about a minute max or it'll all cook off).
  • Add in the cream and let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms and bacon back to the skillet. Let it heat through/cook for a few more minutes until it's slightly thickened, then drain the pasta and add it to the skillet and toss. Season with salt & pepper as needed and serve with parmesan cheese and parsley if desired. If the sauce gets a tad too thick, add in a splash of the hot pasta water prior to draining it.

QUICK AND CREAMY BOSCAIOLA PASTA (BACON AND MUSHROOM)



Quick and Creamy Boscaiola Pasta (Bacon and Mushroom) image

I'm posting the original recipe, but will mention here, the changes I made, since I think that both are equally delicious. I subbed tortellini (any kind, though I used beef) for the .... well, actually, the recipe says, any pasta, though it recommends spaghetti. Tortellini worked well! And I subbed chorizo sausage for the bacon, since I had a lonely half a sausage in the freezer (about 100g). I sliced it thinly. I did use the mushrooms. And I added garlic. And I added fresh peas, lightly steamed, again, because I had them. I added them to the sauce in the last five minutes. Very versatile recipe!! Quick, easy, rich and delicious, mmmm! for pasta lovers everywhere! from Kitchen Classics : The Italian Kitchen

500 g pasta, your preference
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 slices bacon, chopped
200 g button mushrooms, sliced
625 ml cream
2 scallions, sliced
1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of rapidly boiling salted water until 'al dente'. Drain, return to the pan, and keep warm.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the bacon and mushroom, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Stir in a little of the cream, and scrape the wooden spoon on the bottom of the pan to dislodge any bacon that has stuck.
  • Add the remaining cream, bring to the boil, and cook over high heat for 15 minutes, OR until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Stir the spring onion through the mixture.
  • Pour the sauce over the pasta, and toss to combine.
  • Serve sprinkled with the parsley.

FETTUCCINE BOSCAIOLA



Fettuccine Boscaiola image

Bacon and mushroom cream pasta. Works with any type of pasta! I edited this after Ninna's review, since I also never use butter and don't think bacon needs to be cooked in butter. To make it lighter, use evaporated milk instead of cream. Aussie measurements (1 tbsp = 20mls)
