My boyfriend once took me to a Japanese restaurant and one of his favourite dishes was a creamy mushroom pasta. It's pretty good. They have about 5 different types of mushroom in it, and it IS creamy. So I went home and wanted to replicate it some how, but where to start? I have never made this before and would have never thought about it if my boyfriend hadn't introduced me to the creamy pasta that day. The first time I made it for him, his family had complimented me on the pasta. The recipe is simple and creamy. First one I picked, and have been using for almost 1 1/2 years now!
The recipe I used:
Creamy mushroom and bacon pasta
The recipe calls for tortellini, but any preferred pasta is good enough. In Step 3. after frying the bacon until golden, sprinkle the bacon with flour. This is a very important step to have initially removed the rind of the bacon - otherwise you get a pan of bacon soaked in oil. It's not a pretty sight, nor a healthy situation. If you hadn't removed the rind, scoop that oil out! It's going straight to the arteries otherwise.
In Step 4. they want you to add the sauce to the pasta. However it should be - "add pasta to the sauce" and cook for another few minutes. If you are not ready to serve, you don't need to cook the mixed sauce and pasta for another few minutes. Leave the mixture in the pot, until everyone is at the dinner table, heat the mixture up, stir through - add some vegetables if you please and serve.
