Boscaiola sauce for pasta

Boscaiola sauce for pasta

A kinda old-school pasta sauce (bacon and mushroom with sweet green peas and, hang on, is that a splash of cream?) that reminds us just how simply yummy the classics can be. Toss it through a wide ribbon pasta, dish it up with a salad of bitter greens to complement the creamy sauce and watch it get wolfed down. 

To Serve

This kind of sauce works well with a wider ribbon pasta, like fettucine or pappardelle, but there would be no shame in serving it with a chunky shape like penne or fusilli. A colourful vegetable gnocchi like pumpkin or spinach would also be delicious. Whatever the carb of choice, finish with some extra Parmesan, a good grind of pepper and serve a salad on the side, ideally with some bitter leaves like radicchio or endive into the mix. 

Ingredients

Cream (milk), mushroom (17%), bacon (14%) (pork 97%, salt, mineral salt (450), sodium erythorbate, sodium nitrite, water), onion, peas, water, chicken stock (water, free range chicken bones, onions, carrot, celery and bay leaves), parmesan cheese (milk, salt, cultures, non-animal rennet), olive oil, butter (cream (milk)), dijon mustard (sulphites), garlic, parsley, plain flour (wheat), thyme, salt
