Ingredients:

For the pasta:

• 300 g spaghetti (or your favorite pasta)
• Salt, for boiling pasta

For the creamy sauce:

• 150 g bacon, chopped into small pieces
• 250 g mushrooms, sliced (cremini, button, or a mix of both)
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 200 ml heavy cream
• 100 ml chicken or vegetable broth
• 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Method of Preparation:

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions, or until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water for later use. Set the pasta aside.

2. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until it’s crispy and golden, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Leave the bacon drippings in the pan for extra flavor.
