LIFESTYLE NEWS - Pasta is always a great dinner option.
Italian dishes have become global staples in many homes, from spaghetti Bolognese, alfredo pasta, lasagna and pesto pastas.
The great thing about this recipe is the pasta can be changed to your preference.
If you are not a fan of spaghetti, there is penne, macaroni, fusilli, linguine, fettuccine and plenty more.
Capsicum Culinary Studio student Kyle Marshall’s favourite go-to recipe for a really easy, simple but totally delicious meal is his bacon and mushroom penne.
Kyle Marshall’s bacon and mushroom penne
Ingredients
400g cooked penne
½ red onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic (made into a paste)
250g mushroom, roughly chopped
250ml cream
100ml white wine
150g bacon, diced
50g grated parmesan
Handful of chopped parsley
Salt and pepper
Method:
Bring a pan up to high heat and add the chopped bacon. Allow the fat to render and the bacon to brown slightly. Next add the onions and garlic and sauté until golden.
Once golden, add the mushrooms and cook until most of the moisture is out.
Deglaze the pan with the white wine and cook until the wine has completely evaporated.
Turn the heat down to medium and add the cream.
Bring the cream up to a slight rumble and then add the cooked pasta and fold it in.
Add the parmesan and chopped parsley and fold in evenly.
Plate and enjoy.
