Creamy Mushroom and Bacon Pasta
This is a very simple recipe and to make it even better it doubles as a mushroom sauce for steak also! .

The amount of mushrooms does sound large and you will see when they're cut up they look like a lot! But the volume will decrease as the mushrooms are cooked.



Serves 4

75ml cream
1 packet of Maggi Mushroom Soup (if you have gluten free eaters you can swap this for some corn starch mixed with warm water)
500gm finely sliced mushrooms
1 cup of water or white wine
2 finely diced onions
300gm diced bacon
2 cups of penne pasta
1 clove of minced garlic
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Lightly fry the onion in olive oil with the garlic until
the onion turns translucent.
2. Add the bacon and mushrooms
3. Add the cream and ¾ cup of water or wine
4. Take the remaining liquid and mix with the dry soup powder. Slowly adding the soup in to the mix while continually stirring.
5. Let the sauce simmer for 20 mins. If the sauce is too thick add more water.
6. Taste to see if the mushrooms are cooked and mix with cooked pasta or serve on top of a nice piece of steak.

I’m a stickler for saving time while cooking so I usually cook twice the amount and freeze the other half. When mixed with the pasta this also freezes well and can be brought out on a lazy dinner day!
