  • Prep time: 10 mins
  • Cooking time: 15 mins(May need an extra 5 mins)
  • Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 2tsp olive oil
  • 6 rashers smoked streaky bacon, about 90g (3oz), diced
  • 250g (8oz) cup mushrooms, chopped
  • 4 chicken thigh fillets, about 350g (12oz) total weight, trimmed of fat and cut into 2.5cm (1in) pieces
  • 100ml (3½fl oz) dry white wine
  • 200ml pot crème fraîche
  • 300g (10oz) linguine/spaghetti
  • 2 medium egg yolks

  • Handful of chopped parsley

Method

  1. Heat a large frying pan, or wok, add 1tsp of the oil and the bacon and fry until it starts to brown. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook for about 5 mins until they are browned. Tip these into a bowl and reheat the pan with the rest of the oil. Add the chicken and fry until just coloured.

  3. Meanwhile, cook and drain the pasta according to directions on the pack.
  4. Take the bacon and mushroom mixture off the heat, cool for 1 min and then beat the egg yolks, one at a time, into the sauce to thicken it. Season.
  5. Add the hot pasta to the pan, or wok, and mix in well with seasoning and chopped parsley. (Not suitable for freezing).
