Cooking Steps
ā¢ Boil the kettle. Finely chop brown onion and garlic. ā¢ Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat with a good drizzle of olive oil. Cook sliced mushrooms, onion and diced bacon, breaking up bacon with a spoon, until golden, 6-8 minutes. ā¢ Add garlic and herb & mushroom seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
ā¢ Add light cooking cream, the boiling water (13/4 cups for 2 people / 31/2 cups for 4 people), vegetable stock powder and orecchiette. ā¢ Stir to combine and bring to boil. ā¢ Reduce heat to medium and cover with a lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is 'al dente', 10 minutes. ā¢ Stir through Parmesan cheese. Season to taste.
TIP: Add a dash more water if the pasta is looking dry!
ā¢ While pasta is cooking, thinly slice pear. ā¢ To a medium bowl, add a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. ā¢ Top dressing with mixed salad leaves and pear. Season and toss to combine.
ā¢ Divide one-pot garlicky mushroom and bacon orecchiette between bowls. ā¢ Serve with pear salad. Enjoy!
