Creamy Bacon
Mushroom Angel Hair Pasta

Indulge in this quick, velvety cream pasta featuring savory crispy bacon, earthy mushrooms, and delicate angel hair noodles for a perfect weeknight meal.

Ingredients

• 150 g bacon
• 200 g mushrooms
• 1/2 onion
• 150 g angel hair pasta
• 1 tbsp butter
• 100 ml milk
• 50 ml heavy cream
• to taste salt
• 1 handful microgreens

Instructions

1. 1Fry the bacon

   

   Place the bacon pieces into a pan over medium heat and fry until they are browned and crispy. This releases the fat which will form the flavor base for the rest of the dish.

   Tip: Fry until the bacon reaches your preferred level of crispiness for the best texture.
2. 2Sauté the aromatics and mushrooms

   

   Add the sliced onions and mushrooms to the pan with the fried bacon. Stir-fry the mixture over medium heat until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are softened and lightly browned.

   Tip: Make sure not to crowd the pan so the mushrooms brown properly instead of steaming.
3. 3Add the pasta

   

   Transfer the pre-cooked angel hair pasta into the pan with the bacon, onion, and mushroom mixture. Toss everything together to ensure the pasta is well-coated with the rendered fat and aromatics.

   Tip: Toss gently to avoid breaking the delicate angel hair pasta strands.
4. 4Incorporate the milk

   

   Pour an appropriate amount of milk into the pan over the pasta and ingredients. Stir gently to begin forming a creamy base for the sauce.

   Tip: Add the milk slowly to better control the consistency of the sauce.
5. 5Finish with cream

   

   Add a splash of heavy cream and a pinch of salt to the pan. Continue to stir and simmer the mixture until the sauce thickens and coats the pasta perfectly.

   Tip: Simmer on low heat once the cream is added to prevent it from separating.
