A simple one-pan pasta dish with bacon, mushrooms and pesto - ready in under 30 minutes

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Pasta, Supper

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

400g penne (or other tube shape) pasta
250g pack chestnut or button mushrooms, wiped clean
8 rashers streaky bacon
4 tbsp pesto (fresh from the chiller cabinet if possible)
200ml carton 50% fat crème fraîche
handful basil leaves

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Thick-cut bacon, fresh mushrooms, and al dente spaghetti are all essential.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the bacon and mushrooms. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and will hold the sauce better.
  • Reserve some of the pasta cooking water to thin out the sauce, if necessary.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Garnish the finished dish with fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color and flavor.
