Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice button mushrooms and leek. • Cut bacon into 1cm pieces. 

Cook the pasta
2

• Cook penne in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people). Drain penne, then return to saucepan. TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

Cook the bacon & mushrooms
3

• While the pasta is cooking, in a large frying pan heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook until browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add mushrooms, leek and the butter and cook, stirring until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Add garlic and herb & mushroom seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Make the sauce
4

• Reduce heat to medium and add cream (see ingredients), reserved pasta water and chicken-style stock powder. • Stir to combine and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

Add the pasta
5

• Add drained penne and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Finish & serve
6

• Divide mushroom and bacon penne between bowls. • Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
