CRISPY BACON & FRIED MUSHIES
Boil a full kettle. Place a pan over medium heat. When hot, fry the bacon for 2 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle. Keep the pan on a medium heat, with more oil, if necessary. When hot, fry the sliced mushrooms until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. In the final 30-60 seconds, add the Garlic and seasoning to taste. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm. Dilute the stock with 200ml of water.
BEGIN THE SAUCE
Return the pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Stir through the One For All rub and the diluted stock and simmer for 5-6 minutes until reduced by ¾. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm until step 3.
FRESH PASTA BLISS
Fill a pot with boiling water, add a good pinch of salt, and place over a high heat. Once the water is bubbling rapidly, cook the fresh pasta for 2-3 minutes until al dente. Drain on completion, reserving a cup of the water. Toss some oil through the pasta to prevent sticking and return to the pot. Cover with a lid and set aside to keep warm.
LUXURIOUS CREAMINESS
Loosen the crème fraîche with 60ml of milk or the reserved pasta water. Return the pan of onions to a low-medium heat with the loosened crème fraîche. Bring up to a slight simmer for about 1-2 minutes. Add the peas, mushrooms and bacon, cook for another 1-2 minutes. Add ½ the grated hard cheese and season to taste. Add the pasta and mix to combine until all the pasta is coated. Remove from the heat.
