572. SPAGHETTI AGLIO OLIO

a.k.a. Garlic & Oil


5-6 cloves of garlic, cut into slivers
7-8 shiitake mushrooms, cut into slivers
2-3 small chillis , chopped into small bits
1 packet of bacon, chopped into small chunks
Handful of cherry tomatos, cut into thin slices
Spaghetti enough for three
2-3 stalks of coriander, chopped into small bits
Olive oil

Cook the spaghetti. Heat a pan up, add the bacon in and fry it in its own fats (I use less fatty bacon so had to add some olive oil in). Remove the bacon when slightly browned and strain on a piece of kitchen towel. Drain out excess bacon fats and add some olive oil in the pan. Fry the garlic till fragrant and add the mushroom. Fry till slightly crisp. Add the chilli and spaghetti and mix well. Add more oil if it's too dry - spaghetti should be lightly coated with oil. Toast in the tomatos and coriander last and mix well. Serve with grilled turkey and salad
