Fettuccine Boscaiola

A delicious, creamy dish you'll love.

Ingredients

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic diced
1 tsp basil
1 tsp chives
1 tsp oregano
1½ tsp parsley
½ tsp black pepper
1 pinch sea salt
1 large white (or brown) onion thickly sliced
175g bacon rashers thinly sliced
100g button mushrooms halved
600g cooking cream
½ cup white wine (optional)
300g fettuccine cooked
¼ cup parmesan cheese thinly sliced
¼ cup parsley chopped (to serve)
SERVES: 4

Method

Heat oil, garlic and herbs in deep frying pan.
Add onion and bacon, stir until onion starts to become translucent.
Add mushrooms and stir occasionally until bacon and mushrooms start to brown.
Stir in cream (and optionally white wine), then simmer for 10 minutes.
Add Parmesan cheese and stir.
Turn heat off and leave to stand for a few minutes before serving.

Notes:

I now use cooking cream instead, it is a better consistency, much thicker and creamier!
Serve with cooked fettuccine, garnished with slices of Parmesan, chopped parsley, and garlic or herb bread.
