Spicy Creamy Bacon Fire Chicken Spaghetti

An indulgent fusion dish featuring perfectly al dente spaghetti coated in a rich, spicy, and creamy fire chicken sauce, loaded with crispy bacon and melted mozzarella.

Ingredients

• 200 g spaghetti
• 100 g bacon
• 100 g mushrooms
• 1/2 red onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 200 ml heavy cream
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 3 tbsp spicy fire chicken sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp Korean chili paste
• 15 g butter
• 100 g mozzarella cheese
• to taste dried parsley

Instructions

1. 1Slice the mushrooms

   

   Begin by preparing the ingredients. Use a sharp knife to carefully chop the raw mushrooms into thin, even slices on a cutting board.

   Tip: Wiping mushrooms with a damp paper towel instead of washing them prevents them from becoming soggy during cooking.
2. 2Pan-fry the bacon

   

   Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the bacon pieces and pan-fry until the edges become golden and crispy.

   Tip: For the best texture, ensure the oil is hot before adding the bacon so it starts searing immediately.
3. 3Sauté the aromatics

   

   Once the bacon is pan-fried and the edges are crispy, add the chopped red onion, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms into the same pan. Sauté everything together until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.

   Tip: Allow the bacon to render its fat completely before adding the vegetables, so they can cook in the flavorful drippings.
4. 4Pour in the cream

   

   Pour 200ml of heavy cream directly into the pan over the sautéed bacon, onions, and mushrooms. This will form the rich, creamy base of your sauce.

   Tip: Lower the heat slightly before adding the cream to prevent it from splitting or boiling over too quickly.
5. 5Add the sauces

   

   Next, stir in a spoonful of ketchup, about three spoonfuls of spicy fire chicken sauce, a spoonful of oyster sauce, a small piece of butter, and a spoonful of Korean chili paste to build a complex, spicy flavor profile.

   Tip: Adjust the amount of fire chicken sauce to your personal heat preference, as it can be quite spicy!
6. 6Mix and simmer

   

   Use a spatula to thoroughly mix all the sauces into the cream base. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil until the sauce reaches a smooth, even color and thickens slightly.

   Tip: Scrape the bottom of the pan while mixing to incorporate any browned bacon bits into the sauce for extra flavor.
7. 7Combine pasta and sauce

   

   Add the pre-boiled spaghetti into the pan with the creamy spicy sauce. Toss the pasta thoroughly to ensure every strand is evenly coated with the rich, flavorful mixture.

   Tip: Make sure your pasta is al dente before adding it to the sauce, as it will finish cooking slightly in the pan.
8. 8Add cheese and melt

   

   Evenly sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the spaghetti. Cover the pan and let the cheese melt completely over low heat until gooey and delicious.

   Tip: Keep the heat low once the cheese is added to prevent the bottom of the sauce from burning while the cheese melts.
