Instructions
• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Finely chop brown onion. Finely chop garlic • Thinly slice apple (see ingredients). Set aside.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 6-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with another drizzle of olive oil, if needed. • Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add sliced mushrooms and the butter and cook, stirring, until browned and softened, 7-8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook spaghetti in the boiling water until 'al dente', 10 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people), then drain spaghetti and return to saucepan.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• When the mushrooms are done, reduce frying pan heat to low. Stir through light cooking cream and 1/2 the shaved Parmesan cheese until heated through, 1 minute. • Return bacon to pan, then add cooked spaghetti and a splash of pasta water. Season with pepper. Toss to combine, then remove from heat. • In a medium bowl, combine apple, baby spinach leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
• Divide creamy bacon and mushroom spaghetti between bowls. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. • Serve with spinach and apple salad. Enjoy!
