A nice quick, tasty pasta sauce, made with ingredients I normally have on hand. Sometimes I throw in some diced chicken with the bacon. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
4 slices bacon, sliced |
1 clove garlic, crushed |
125 ml white wine |
300 ml cream |
125 ml milk |
2 teaspoons grainy mustard |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1 tablespoon water |
1/2 cup shredded fresh basil |
4 green onions, chopped |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the bacon and garlic, cook, stirring, until the bacon is crisp.
2. Add the wine and bring to the boil.
3. Stir in the cream, milk, mustard, cheese and blended cornstarch and water.
4. Stir over a high heat until the sauce boils and thickens a little.
5. Stir in the basil and green onions, and serve over the cooked pasta of your choice.
