I'm starving I want to eat some bacone fettuccine

I'm starving I want to eat some bacone fettuccine

I was planning to make an omelet using bacon rashers and eggs - but as I was dry frying the bacon - the aroma made my mouth water and  made me think of bacon mushroom fettuccine. And so I gave into the thought and made that instead for dinner. And boy was it good. Or maybe I was just starving marvin. I only had breakfast and missed a proper lunch.

OK. what you need is:
Bacon rashers - the ones where they have cut off the skin bits.
White Aussie Mushrooms
Basil / Italian Herbs
Small Carrot
Asparagus - optional
A leafy vegetable like baby spinach
White Carbonara Sauce - use Dolminos.
San Remo Spinach Fettuccine - its the green color one
Pepper/Salt

I didn't use oil. Just turn the heat low - throw in the bacon - chopped up - and let it dry fry. The bacon already has a lot of oil in its fat.
Throw some white and black pepper inside
Because I'm Asian I added in chilli flakes as well.
Once it gets sizzling throw in the mushrooms, also cut up.
Throw in the end bits of the asparagus - cut up. Add the flower bits later on as they cook faster.
Chuck in the carrot which has been finely diced up. I find that the carrot gives a nice comparative texture with the mushrooms.

Meanwhile boil the spinach fettuccine - it takes about 15 minutes full boil to cook it.

Once done - add the fettuccine into the mix to cook and pour the sauce in and the leafy vege...

After 5 - 10 minutes you're done. Time to eat.

The bacon, mushroom and carbonara sauce with the fettuccine is a real killer combo.
