Instructions
• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Thinly slice pear. • To the saucepan of boiling water, add fettuccine and cook until ‘al dente’, 10 minutes. • Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water, then return the pasta to the saucepan. Drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.
TIP: 'Al dente' means the pasta is cooked through but still has a bit of firmness in the middle.
• While the pasta is cooking, in a large frying pan, heat the butter and a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Add diced bacon and sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to low and add light cooking cream and chicken-style stock powder, stir to combine. Simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Add drained fettuccine and a splash of the reserved cooking water and toss to combine. Remove pan from heat and add splash more pasta water, if needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, the honey and olive oil (2 tsp for 2 people / 1 tbs for 4 people). Season with salt and pepper and mix well. • Just before serving, add pear and spinach & rocket mix and toss to coat.
• Divide the mushroom and bacon fettuccine between bowls. • Drizzle some of the truffle oil over the pasta, to taste. • Serve with the rocket and pear salad. Enjoy!
TIP: Truffle has a strong flavour, if you're not a fan, serve the pasta without it.
