Cooking Instructions:
  • 1. TO COOK THE BACON AND MUSHROOMS:

    Cut the bacon into 2 cm squares. Chop the mushrooms into quarters. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Once hot add the mushrooms and cook for 1 min, add the diced bacon and fry for a further 3 mins. Finally add the wine and oregano sauce and cook for 2 mins or until the sauce starts to bubble. Remove the frying pan from the heat.

  • 2. TO COOK THE PAPPARDELLE:

    Bring a large pot of water to the boil with a ½ tsp of salt. Roughly chop the Italian parsley leaves discarding the stalk. Open the pack of fresh pappardelle and gently loosen apart with your fingers before placing into the boiling water separating the pasta strands as you do. Cook for 4 mins and drain the pappardelle into a colander then return to the pot. Add a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking, then stir in the carbonara sauce and baby spinach, followed by the bacon, mushrooms & oregano mix. Season with salt and pepper.

  • TO SERVE:

    With tongs twist the carbonara pappardelle into plates or shallow bowls and sprinkle each with the toasted almonds and chopped Italian parsley.
