Cooking Instructions:

1. TO PREPARE THE FETTUCCINE AND THE VEGETABLES:
Using your hands, gently loosen the strands of fresh fettuccine. Once the water is boiling, add the fettuccine to the pot and cook for 2-3 mins or until al dente. Reserving 2 Tbsps of the cooking water, drain the fettuccine well into a colander and drizzle with oil to stop from sticking. Peel then finely slice the red onions. Cut the mushrooms into quarters and set aside. Remove the parsley leaves discarding their stalks then chop finely.
2. TO COOK THE BACON AND VEGETABLES:
Cut the bacon into 1 cm strips. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot add the bacon and red onion and cook for 4-5 mins. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 2-3 mins.
3. TO FINISH THE FETTUCCINE:
Add the alfredo sauce, cook for 1-2 mins. Add the fettuccine, baby spinach, reserved pasta water and cook for a further 1 min. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
