Boscaiola is a creamy Italian pasta sauce which gets a smoky depth of flavour from the bacon, and a lovely meatiness from the mushrooms. It works a treat over al dente fettuccine, and served alongside garlic ciabatta, perfect for mopping up any leftover sauce at the bottom of your bowl.
1 clove
garlic
1
Bake-At-Home Ciabatta
(Contains: Gluten, Soy, Wheat; May be present: Eggs, Milk, Sesame, Lupin, Almond, Hazelnut.)
1 packet
fettuccine
(Contains: Gluten, Wheat; May be present: Eggs, Soy.)
1 packet
diced bacon
(May be present: Milk, Soy.)
1 packet
sliced mushrooms
1 sachet
garlic & herb seasoning
1 packet
light cooking cream
(Contains: Milk;)
1 sachet
chicken-style stock powder
1 bag

1 packet
Parmesan cheese
(Contains: Milk;)
1
olive oil
50 g
butter
(Contains: Milk;)

• Boil the kettle. Preheat the oven grill to high. • Finely chop garlic. • Slice bake-at-home ciabatta in half lengthways, then slice each half diagonally. • Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water. • Cook fettuccine, uncovered, over a high heat, until ‘al dente’, 9 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain pasta and return to saucepan.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until beginning to brown, 2-3 minutes. • Add sliced mushrooms and 1/2 the butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 6-8 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add light cooking cream, chicken-style stock powder and reserved pasta water, stirring to combine. Cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

• Add cooked fettuccine, baby spinach leaves and shaved Parmesan cheese, tossing, until wilted and combined, 1 minute. Season to taste, then remove pan from heat. • Meanwhile, place garlic and remaining butter in a small heatproof bowl. Microwave in 10 second bursts until melted. • Brush garlic butter over cut sides of ciabatta. Season with salt and pepper. • Place garlic bread directly onto a wire rack in the oven. Grill until golden, 5 minutes.

• Divide bacon and mushroom fettuccine boscaiola between bowls. • Serve with garlic bread. Enjoy!
