Cooking Steps

Cook the spaghetti
1

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook spaghetti in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 9 minutes. • Reserve pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain spaghetti, then return to saucepan.

TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

Start the sauce
2

• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Add diced bacon and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 6-7 minutes. • Add herb & mushroom seasoning and garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Finish the sauce
3

• Reduce heat to medium, add cream (see ingredients) and the reserved pasta water and simmer, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, add the cooked spaghetti and half the baby leaves and toss to combine. Season to taste.

Serve up
4

• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the remaining baby leaves, rocket leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. • Divide creamy bacon spaghetti between bowls. • Serve with spinach and rocket salad. Garnish spaghetti with a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
