Pasta With Wild Mushrooms, Peas And Bacon
- 10 ounces whole wheat fettuccine
- 1 cup wild mushrooms mixed, your choice, cleaned, with stems trimmed to your liking
- English peas cup of fresh, shelled
- 2 inches bacon slices of good quality, cut up into 1 cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- 1 shallot large, chopped finely
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped finely
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick saute pan over medium heat. Add in the chopped shallot, garlic and bacon, cooking until the shallot softens and then bacon begins to crisp up nicely.
- Toss in the mushrooms (make sure you've sliced any large ones), sauteing everything together for another 5-6 minutes, or until the mushrooms reach your desired consistency (tender, but not falling apart).
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta until it is al dente. I prefer to use a nice whole wheat fettuccine for this recipe as it pairs well with the nuttiness of the mushrooms. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and set aside.
- Add the peas and parsley to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook for just a minute or two before tossing in the pasta and mixing well, coating the pasta with the oils and fat.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and put the pasta into a large serving bowl. Shave a generous amount of Parmeggiano Reggiano over the dish, tossing to combine.
- Serve with additional cheese and salt and fresh pepper, to your liking.
