Lightly-Flavored Pasta with Broccoli and Bacon
- 1 net weight 100 grams Broccoli
- 3 slice Bacon
- 65 grams Mushrooms (I used king oyster mushrooms)
- 300 grams Spaghetti
- 1 1/2 ~ 2 tablespoon Garlic oil (or olive oil + sliced garlic)
- 1 rounded teaspoon Salt (sea salt is preferred)
- 1 Coarsely ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp White wine
- Preparation: Separate the broccoli into florets.
- Cut the mushrooms into bite-size pieces.
- Cut the bacon into 1 cm wide strips.
- Boil plenty of water in a large pot, and add a generous amount of salt (not included in the recipe).
- Parboil the broccoli until a bit firm.
- Do not cook too long.
- Remove the broccoli, and cook the pasta.
- Cook 1 minute less than package instructions.
- That's the key.
- Heat the garlic oil in a frying pan, and stir-fry the bacon.
- When lightly cooked, add the mushrooms, and stir-fry briefly.
- Season with the salt, pepper, and wine.
- Scoop out 2 ladlefuls of pasta cooking water, and pour into the pan.
- Add the precooked broccoli, and toss briefly.
- Add the freshly cooked pasta, and mix well.
- Please taste at this point; if it's not flavourful, adjust with salt and pepper.
- Please do not stir-fry too long after adding the pasta.
- Just mix with the ingredients and the sauce, then enjoy it (This will prevent the pasta from drying out.)
- This time, it was the perfect amount for 2 adults and 2 children.
- If it's only for adults, the yield would be 3 servings.
- When you do not have garlic oil, you can substitute with olive oil (or vegetable oil), and 1 clove of sliced garlic stir-fried until fragrant.
- Broccoli will absorb the flavour better than pasta.
- It might be better to add pasta first, then add broccoli last.
