Ingredients

  • 375g fettuccine
  • 160g (1 cup) shelled or frozen peas
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) olive oil
  • 6 x 65g rindless bacon rashers, thinly sliced
  • 200g button mushrooms, quartered
  • 200g Swiss brown mushrooms, quartered
  • 300ml pouring cream
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup torn basil leaves, plus extra, to serve
  • 80g (1 cup) finely grated parmesan, plus extra, to serve

Directions

  1. Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 6 minutes, then add peas and cook for a further minute or until pasta is al dente and peas are tender.
  2. Drain, return to the pan and cover to keep warm.
  3. Heat 2 tbs oil in a large, deep frying pan over high heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until golden.
  4. Remove with a slotted spoon. Add remaining 2 tbs oil and cook mushrooms, tossing, for 3 minutes or until tender.
  5. Return bacon to the pan with cream and stir for 3 minutes or until heated through.
  6. Working quickly, add bacon mixture to pasta mixture with eggs, basil and parmesan.
  7. Season with salt and pepper, and toss gently to combine; the heat of the ingredients will cook the eggs.
  8. Divide fettuccine among bowls and scatter with extra torn basil leaves and parmesan to serve.
