Bacon and mushroom spaghetti tips
For the best results with your bacon, fry it with a tiny bit of fat in a warming pan instead of already hot. This will help render the fat better for more crisp. Don’t forget to save some of the pasta water. When the spaghetti is ready, place the bacon and mushrooms in a pan with the pasta, and slowly add some pasta water. This will help with thickening the sauce from the creamed mushrooms. You can also add some cherry tomatoes to the dish as well.
If you’re using fresh mushrooms, you can add some cream to the mixture before finishing.
We all love a hearty bowl of pasta during the cold winter months. Our bacon and mushroom spaghetti with green peppers is a beautiful weeknight meal.
