Steps:
- Cook the pasta in boiling water in a large non-stick saucepan according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, slice the mushrooms and snip the bacon into bite-size pieces with scissors or a sharp knife.
- Reserve a few drops of the cooking water in a cup or bowl, then drain the pasta and set aside. Fry the bacon and mushrooms in the same pan until golden, about 5 mins. Keep the heat high so the mushrooms fry in the bacon fat, rather than sweat.
- Tip the pasta and reserved water back into the pan and stir over the heat for 1 min. Take the pan off the heat, spoon in the pesto and crème fraîche and most of the basil and stir to combine. Sprinkle with the remaining basil to serve.

BACON AND MUSHROOM PENNE WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO PESTO
This is a recipe that I found online. I have modified this recipe slightly by adding bacon, mushroom and sunflower seed. It works equaly well with chorizo instead of bacon. Sunflower seed is optional, it gives a bit of texture to the dish.

Steps:
- In a small pan over medium heat, toast almonds until golden brown, 5 minutes. In a food processor, pulse almonds, parsley, tomatoes, garlic and oil until slightly chunky. Pour into a bowl; season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add mozzarella; toss to combine. Cook pasta as directed on package; drain and toss immediately with pesto.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil instead of dry ones. If using dry tomatoes, rehydrate them in hot water for 15 minutes before using.
- To make the pesto ahead of time, simply omit the Parmesan cheese and olive oil. Store the pesto in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When ready to use, stir in the Parmesan cheese and olive oil.
- If you don't have penne pasta, you can use any other short pasta shape, such as shells, rotini, or fusilli.
- To make the dish vegetarian, omit the bacon. You can also add other vegetables to the dish, such as zucchini, bell peppers, or spinach.
