Pasta with Bacon in a Crème Fraîche and White Wine Sauce

Well, I've really been slacking recently. With it being the end of the summer holidays, I've tried to really enjoy myself and not go on the computer too much so now I have all these recipes on my Blogger app that I am yet to finish off and publish. Guess I'll be posting quite a few tonight - thank God for back dating.

First day back at work today obviously meant the first day back on my diet. But what I overlooked was the fact that we had two birthdays (meaning cake in our office) and I forgot my lunch resulting in a naughty pub lunch. Good start! So when I got home to find no food in the house and dire need of a supermarket trip, this was my request for dinner. Not the healthiest recipe ever, but there's always tomorrow ;-)

Ingredients (serves 2):
1 white onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
250g mushrooms, sliced
4-5 rashers of smoked bacon, fat removed and sliced
1 large glass of white wine
200g pasta
400ml crème fraîche (I use reduced fat)
50g grated cheese

Instructions:
1. Put the pasta on to cook as per packet instructions. Fry the onions for 5 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

2. Add the bacon, mushrooms and white wine and fry until cooked through and wine mostly boiled off. Season with black pepper.

3. Add the crème fraîche and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to simmer before adding the grated cheese.

4. Add the pasta to the pot. Coat well in the sauce. Keep on a low heat for a few minutes before serving with a voilà! (and with a giant glass of wine if it takes your fancy).
