Bacon Mushroom Sun Dried Tomato Pasta Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Cook Pasta according to instructions, plan to have it ready just as the sauce is finished.
• Fry chopped bacon until almost crisp, drain fat.
• Add mushrooms and saute for apprx 5 minutes.
• Add Chilies, basil, sundried tomatoes and saute until heated through apprx 5 minutes.
• Add salsa heat until bubbling.
• Pour over drained cooked pasta & toss.
• Sprinkle with parmesan cheese & I hope enjoy.

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in boiling water in a large non-stick saucepan according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, slice the mushrooms and snip the bacon into bite-size pieces with scissors or a sharp knife.
• Reserve a few drops of the cooking water in a cup or bowl, then drain the pasta and set aside. Fry the bacon and mushrooms in the same pan until golden, about 5 mins. Keep the heat high so the mushrooms fry in the bacon fat, rather than sweat.
• Tip the pasta and reserved water back into the pan and stir over the heat for 1 min. Take the pan off the heat, spoon in the pesto and crème fraîche and most of the basil and stir to combine. Sprinkle with the remaining basil to serve.

Steps:

• Place the mushrooms in a bowl or a pyrex measuring cup and cover with hot water. Let soak 15 to 30 minutes, until thoroughly soft. Line a strainer with cheesecloth and set it over a bowl. Drain the mushrooms and squeeze them over the strainer. Then rinse in several changes of water and chop coarsely. Measure out 1/4 cup of the mushroom soaking liquid.
• Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. Heat the olive oil in a large, wide, heavy nonstick frying pan over medium heat and add the onion or shallot. Cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir together for minute, until fragrant, then add the mushrooms and stir together for a minute or two, until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and their juice, the mushroom soaking liquid you set aside, the thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir and turn up the heat. When the tomatoes begin to bubble, lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until thick and fragrant, 15 to 20 minutes. Add a generous amount of pepper, taste and adjust seasonings. Keep warm.
• When the pasta water comes to a boil, add a tablespoon of salt and the pasta. Cook al dente, following the timing directions on the package but checking a minute or two before the time on the package. Remove 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water and stir it into the mushroom sauce. When the pasta is cooked through but still firm to the bite, remove another 1/2 cup water, drain the pasta and toss with the sauce in the frying pan if possible. If you wish to thin out the sauce or moisten the pasta further, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water or more of the mushroom soaking liquid. Serve hot; pass the Parmesan at the table.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frypan and fry the onion, garlic and bacon over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
• Add the white wine, cream, spinach and black pepper and bring to a gentle boil; reduce the heat and cook for a couple of minutes.
• Add the sundried tomatoes and parmesan cheese, stir through and serve with the cooked pasta of your choice, with the toasted pinenuts over the top.
• Serve with extra parmesan if you wish.

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until fat is rendered and bacon begins to color, about 6 minutes. Drain off fat. Add shallots and stir 1 minute. Add cream and bring to boil. Turn off heat and add sun-dried tomatoes.
• Meanwhile, cook linguine in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain well. Return linguine to pot. Add sauce and 1/4 cup Romano and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Divide between plates. Sprinkle with nuts and parsley. Serve, passing additional Romano separately.
