Hb asked me to make some pasta for him and since Aunty Pat is coming over, I thought I should make more so we can all eat. Hb wanted the tomato-seafood pasta but Aunty Pat & Reuben prefered cream or Aglio Olio style.So, I decided to make this as it is faster and easier.
Ingredients
- Spaghetti
- Back bacon (cut in squares)
- Prawns (de-shelled, de-veined & marinate w salt & pepper)
- Garlic (thinly sliced)
- White Button mushroom
- Brown Button mushroom (or shiitake)
- Dried Parsley
- Salt & Black pepper
Method
- Pre-boil spaghetti in hot water, strain and add some oil to keep it moist if not cooking immediately
- Fry garlic slices in oil till slightly brown, add in the bacon and fry till golden
- Add prawns and fry till half cooked, add mushroom
- Once fragrant, add the pre-cooked pasta and mix well
- Season with dried parsley, salt and black pepper
- Serve hot & ENJOY
Tips
- Do not rinse the pasta with water, it is better to strain and drizzle some olive oil over it
- For this dish, do not boil pasta till too soft as the quick-frying will soften the pasta a little. Best to cook till a little chewy or 'al-dente'
- You can use fresh basil or dried basil for a stronger herb taste or add chilli flakes for a spicy twist.
- I used 2 kinds of mushroom for depth and texture. If you can't get brown buttons, you can substitute with shiitake.
