Steps

45 mins

1

Cook the pasta and set aside
2

With no butter or oil or anything add the bacon into a pan and fry until golden crispy. It will cook in its own fat
3

Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add a little butter and the thawed shrimp and fry the shrimp adding a little salt and pepper.
4

In a separate pan, add the cream, butter, mascarpone cheese, and milk and bring to a slow slow boil.
5

If the white sauce is a little thin to increase the thickness, add small amounts of flour and whisk in until your reach the preferred thickness.
6

On a very very low heat, add the mushroom to the sauce and close the lid. Stir occasionally but keep the lid on. The mushroom will shrink and the flavour will go into the cream.
7

Add the garlic chives to the sauce and stir in
8

Then add the shrimp/bacon mix to the cream and stir continuously.

Re-warm the pasta if you need to and serve!
