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)
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

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
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)
