My 15 Minute Boscaiola!

Ok this has to be one of the easiest and quickest things i cook. Great for a quick meal when i come home from work.

My 15 minute boscaiola

Ingredients:
1 pack of any pasta you like
6-7 rashers of good bacon (the least fat the better) (for my Islamic friends, you can use chicken breast instead, just use chicken stock for the mushrooms)
2 cloves of garlic
10 button mushrooms or 4 flat mushrooms or 4-5 portobello mushrooms, (i prefer portobello)
1 pack of the ready to use beef or vegetable liquid stock (the small pack)
100g of good Parmesan cheese grated
2 tubs of the cooking cream (small containers with a green top its semi thick cooking cream so it doesn't curdle at the heat)
a handfull of fresh flat parsley to garnish

Method:
Put the water onto boil for the pasta,
*Get a good fry-pan or saucepan (non stick as always)  get it nice and hot, add a lug of good olive oil,
*throw in the crushed/diced garlic and the chopped bacon,
*once the bacon is semi cooked add in the mushrooms (sliced)
* once you see the mushrooms suck up the oil/moisture from the bacon add the stock
* once you added the stock let it simmer strongly and reduce the stock (let it evaporate)
* once more than half the stock has reduced add the cream and mix well, once its all mixed add half of the cheese.

*by the time the water should of boiled and the pasta should of cooked. (depending if you use fresh or dry).
*once the pasta is cooked drain the pasta under hot water and place the drained pasta back in the saucepan.

*pour the sauce from the frypan/smaller saucepan over the pasta and mix well.

* add the rest of the cheese and the fresh chopped parsley now and mix.

Serve with some good garlic bread and enjoy, this is good with an Italian white wine as-well.


enjoy.
