This is a very comforting and quick pasta to make when you have not been to the shops. It is a family favourite. I devised it one day out of desperation.

Metric Cups

125 grams mushrooms (sliced)

Cook your pasta as per instructions on the packet.

SautÃ© the onions and bacon in the oil until onions are soft and just turning golden, Add the mushrooms and toss about a few minutes.

Add the sundried tomatoes with all their juices. Stir for a few minutes and put the lid on the pan. Leave for about 5 - 10 minutes. You want to allow the tomatoes to slightly caramelise.

Add seasoning.

Drain the pasta saving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

Toss the pasta in the sauce and serve with loads of cheese. If it needs moistening then add the reserved pasta water.
