Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. • Cook penne in the boiling water, over high heat, until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/3 cup for 2 people / 2/3 cup for 4 people). Drain penne, then return to saucepan.
• Meanwhile, pick thyme leaves. • Cut bacon into 1cm pieces. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook sliced mushrooms, until just browned and softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add bacon and cook until golden, 4-6 minutes.
• To pan with bacon, add garlic, thyme, tomato paste and savoury seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in light cooking cream and the reserved pasta water until combined, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat and stir in cooked penne and baby spinach leaves, tossing until well combined. Season to taste. TIP: Add a splash of water if the pasta looks dry.
• Divide creamy mushroom and bacon penne between bowls. Top with Parmesan cheese and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). Enjoy!
