Ingredients

  • 220 g Pasta I used fettuccine
  • 150 g Pancetta
  • 40 g Butter
  • 300 g Chestnut mushrooms cut into quarters
  • 4 Cloves of garlic chopped
  • 120 ml Vegetable stock
  • 150 ml Double cream
  • 50 g Parmesan grated
  • 15 g Parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta in salted boiling water for two minutes less than the packet states.
  • Add the pancetta into a dry pan, cook over a medium to high heat until it’s crispy.
  • When it’s crispy, use a slotted spoon to remove the pancetta from the pan and set it aside. Leave the fat in the pan.
  • Add the butter and turn the heat up to high. Chuck in the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are browned all over.
  • Add in the garlic and cook for a further minute.
  • Turn the heat back down to a medium to high. Pour in the vegetable stock and double cream.
  • Bring to the boil, by now the pasta should be al dente. Add the pasta to the sauce along with some pasta water.
  • Grate in the parmesan and stir well. Taste for seasoning, it will need a bit of black pepper.
  • Turn off the heat and sprinkle in the chopped parsley. Toss together then plate up and serve with more grated parmesan.
