I cooked pasta for lunch with the ingredients that I had at home. Light salty flavor is delicious.

Adding the pasta cooking water from the pot is the key.
If the result is dry, add a bit more cooking water.
If you like it spicy, stir-fry a red chili pepper before adding the bacon. It will taste great. Recipe by Yumi`s cafe

Steps

1

Preparation: Separate the broccoli into florets. Cut the mushrooms into bite-size pieces. Cut the bacon into 1 cm wide strips.
2

Boil plenty of water in a large pot, and add a generous amount of salt (not included in the recipe). Parboil the broccoli until a bit firm. Do not cook too long.
3

Remove the broccoli, and cook the pasta. Cook 1 minute less than package instructions. That's the key.
4

Heat the garlic oil in a frying pan, and stir-fry the bacon. When lightly cooked, add the mushrooms, and stir-fry briefly.
5

Season with the salt, pepper, and wine. Scoop out 2 ladlefuls of pasta cooking water, and pour into the pan.
6

Add the precooked broccoli, and toss briefly.
7

Add the freshly cooked pasta, and mix well. Please taste at this point; if it's not flavourful, adjust with salt and pepper.
8

Please do not stir-fry too long after adding the pasta. Just mix with the ingredients and the sauce, then enjoy it♪ (This will prevent the pasta from drying out.)
9

This time, it was the perfect amount for 2 adults and 2 children. If it's only for adults, the yield would be 3 servings.
10

When you do not have garlic oil, you can substitute with olive oil (or vegetable oil), and 1 clove of sliced garlic stir-fried until fragrant.

Broccoli will absorb the flavour better than pasta. It might be better to add pasta first, then add broccoli last.
