INGREDIENTS

spaghetti,

150 gr bacon cut into strips,

tray of mushrooms,

large knob of butter,

250ml single cream,

1 onion,

salt, pepper and olive oil.

STEPS

1)Put the spaghetti in abundant boiling salted-water, and boil on a medium/low heat until "al dente" (cooked but firm to the bite). DO NOT put oil in the water, it serves no purpose as it simply floats to the top.

Whilst the spaghetti boils (10-15 min, depending on the spaghetti you use), peel and dice the onion, and put it in a frying pan with the bacon, to gently fry in the butter and a spoonful of olive oil. Add a pinch of salt.

2)Now, whilst both the spaghetti's and the onions cook, clean and halve the mushrooms (it is best to rub or brush the mushrooms to clean them, washing them will make them less tasty as mushrooms absorb any liquid they are in contact with), then when the onion begins to become transparent (5-6 min), add them to the pan, stir in well, turn up the heat a little and continue frying for 2-3 minutes.

Once the mushrooms start to brown, add the single cream, stir well, lower the flame and leave to simmer gently.
