BBC Good Food bacon and mushroom pasta

A good midweek meal – unashamedly using shop bought pesto rather than making fresh! I see a lot of classic Italian cooks lamenting the addition of cream to pastas, and while I wouldn’t use it in a carbonara, the addition of crime fraiche here does help make this a creamy dish and let’s down the pesto a bit. Dinner ready in the length of time it takes to boil your choice of dry pasta!
