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

Ingredients

3 servings
  1. 1net weight 100 grams Broccoli
  2. 3 sliceBacon
  3. 65 gramsMushrooms (I used king oyster mushrooms)
  4. 300 gramsSpaghetti
  5. 1 1/2~ 2 tablespoon Garlic oil (or olive oil + sliced garlic)
  6. 1rounded teaspoon Salt (sea salt is preferred)
  7. 1Coarsely ground black pepper
  8. 1 tbspWhite wine

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 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. 3

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

  4. 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. 5

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

  6. 6

    Add the precooked broccoli, and toss briefly.

  7. 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. 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. 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. 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.

  11. 11

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