Cooking Steps
• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook spaghetti in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 10 minutes. • Reserve pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain spaghetti, then return to saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Meanwhile, fnely chop brown onion and garlic. • Thinly slice apple (see ingredients). • 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, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Return frying pan to high heat with the butter and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook sliced mushrooms and onion, stirring, until browned and softened, 6-8 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add garlic and garlic & herb seasoning, then cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in light cooking cream, reserved pasta water and half the Parmesan cheese, until slighty thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Add cooked spaghetti and bacon, tossing to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• 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!
