This evenings dinner was a bit of a 'lets see what we have left in the fridge' affair. Too lazy to brave the supermarket at the weekend however from our last trip there was some smokey bacon and creme fraiche from last week still left over (not one for use by once opened dates, taste test was fine). So here is a simple recipe for a quick and tasty monday evening dinner...
serves 2 hungry pasta lovers
ingredients:
200g spaghetti
5 rashers of smoked back bacon, cut into 4m pieces
1/2 pack of mushrooms, sliced
1 onion, halved and sliced
handful of cherry tomatoes
1 clove garlic, grated
juice of half a lemon
2 heaped tbsp reduced fat creme fraiche
handful of basil leaves, chopped
how to:
place the bacon in a pot on a medium heat, put the lid on a cook for five minutes.
once cooked remove bacon from pot, leaving juice behind.
put the spaghetti on to cook as directed on the packet.
Add the onions, mushrooms and tomatoes to the pot still containing the juice from the bacon, cover and cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes or until onions are soft. Remove from heat.
Drain the spaghetti.
Add the onions mix to the spaghetti along with the bacon.
Stir in the creme fraiche.
sprinkle over the grated garlic and add the lemon juice and basil. Stir until combined.
Serve with lots of freshly ground black pepper.
enjoy...
