Number Of Ingredients 12

olive oil flavored cooking spray or 1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 red capsicum, finely chopped
3 slices bacon, chopped (WW brand if possible)
7 mushrooms, sliced

chili flakes (optional)
black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.
  • Spray a pan with olive oil spray and sauté finely chopped onion, capsicum, bacon and garlic.
  • When soft add mushrooms and as much or as little chilli as you like.
  • Cook until soft.
  • Put pasta into boiling water and bring back to the boil.
  • Cook to your liking.
  • Add dijon mustard and evaporated milk to the onion mix.
  • Stir to combine and heat very gently until pasta is ready.
  • If you like a'wetter' sauce add a small amount of the pasta cooking water to the onion/milk mixture.
  • Place washed spinach leaves into a colander.
  • When ready drain the pasta over the spinach.
  • This will wilt the spinach- the only'cooking' it needs.

  • **Note: In Australia, on the Weight Watchers points plan, WW bacon is 1/2 a point for 3 slices and the small tin (185ml) of carnation brand light and creamy evaporated milk is 3 points.

BACON & MUSHROOM PASTA



Bacon & mushroom pasta image

A simple one-pan pasta dish with bacon, mushrooms and pesto - ready in under 30 minutes

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Pasta, Supper

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

400g penne (or other tube shape) pasta
250g pack chestnut or button mushrooms, wiped clean
8 rashers streaky bacon
4 tbsp pesto (fresh from the chiller cabinet if possible)
200ml carton 50% fat crème fraîche
handful basil leaves

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta in boiling water in a large non-stick saucepan according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, slice the mushrooms and snip the bacon into bite-size pieces with scissors or a sharp knife.
  • Reserve a few drops of the cooking water in a cup or bowl, then drain the pasta and set aside. Fry the bacon and mushrooms in the same pan until golden, about 5 mins. Keep the heat high so the mushrooms fry in the bacon fat, rather than sweat.
  • Tip the pasta and reserved water back into the pan and stir over the heat for 1 min. Take the pan off the heat, spoon in the pesto and crème fraîche and most of the basil and stir to combine. Sprinkle with the remaining basil to serve.

PENNE WITH MUSHROOM RAGOUT AND SPINACH



Penne With Mushroom Ragout and Spinach image

​​Mushrooms and spinach together is always a match made in heaven. I use a mix of wild and regular white or cremini mushrooms for this, but don't hesitate to make it if regular mushrooms are all that is available.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 ounce (about 1/2 cup) dried porcini mushrooms
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium onion or 2 shallots, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound mixed regular and wild mushrooms or 1 pound regular white or cremini mushrooms, trimmed and cut in thick slices (or torn into smaller pieces, depending on the type of mushroom)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup fruity red wine, such as a Côtes du Rhone or Côtes du Luberon
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or a combination of thyme and rosemary
6 ounces baby spinach or 12 ounces bunch spinach (1 bunch), stemmed and thoroughly cleaned
3/4 pound penne
Freshly grated Parmesan to taste

Steps:

  • Place the dried mushrooms in a Pyrex measuring cup and pour on 2 cups boiling water. Let soak 30 minutes, while you prepare the other ingredients. Place a strainer over a bowl, line it with cheesecloth or paper towels, and drain the mushrooms. Squeeze the mushrooms over the strainer to extract all the flavorful juices. Then rinse the mushrooms, away from the bowl with the soaking liquid, until they are free of sand. Squeeze dry and set aside. If very large, chop coarsely. Measure out 1 cup of the soaking liquid and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy, nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the onion or shallots. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the fresh mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until they begin to soften and sweat, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and salt to taste, stir together for about 30 seconds, then add the reconstituted dried mushrooms and the wine and turn the heat to high. Cook, stirring, until the liquid boils down and glazes the mushrooms. Add the herbs and the mushroom soaking liquid. Bring to a simmer, add salt to taste, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the mushrooms are thoroughly tender and fragrant. Turn off the heat, stir in some freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Fill a bowl with ice water. Add the spinach to the boiling water and blanch for 20 seconds only. Remove with a skimmer and transfer to the ice water, then drain and squeeze out water. Chop coarsely and add to the mushrooms. Reheat gently over low heat.
  • Bring the water back to a boil and cook the pasta al dente following the timing suggestions on the package. If there is not much broth in the pan with the mushrooms and spinach, add a ladleful of pasta water. Drain the pasta, toss with the mushrooms and spinach, add Parmesan to taste, and serve at once.
