Ingredients

4 people
  • 200 gram spaghetti
  • 250 gram bacon
  • 2 large onions (thinly sliced)
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 500 gram mushrooms (thinly sliced)
  • 250 ml chicken stock
  • 150 ml cooking cream
  • Oil, butter, pepper, and salt
  • To serve: Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley

Equipment

  • Skillet

INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):

  • Fry the bacon in a skillet without adding butter or oil. Remove the bacon bits from the pan and drain them on a paper towel. Leave the remaining fat in the pan.
  • Fry the onions in the fat until caramelized, adding a generous pinch of salt. If necessary, add a dash of olive oil. To speed up the process, add a small spoonful of light brown caster sugar. Remove the onions from the pan and set them aside.
  • Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain the spaghetti when it is cooked.
  • Then, heat a little oil and a knob of butter in the same frying pan. Crush the garlic cloves with a garlic press and fry them briefly until fragrant. Then, add the mushrooms.
  • Fry the mushrooms until they are cooked through. Deglaze with the stock. Add the onions and bacon back to the pan, along with the cream.
  • Reduce the sauce to the desired thickness and season with salt and pepper.*
  • Serve the sauce over spaghetti, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and finely chopped parsley. Bon appétit!
Good to know:
*To thicken the sauce quickly, you can make a cornstarch slurry and add it to the sauce. To do so, mix a heaping teaspoon of cornstarch with an equal amount of water, then add the mixture to the sauce.
