a) Once the bacon and mushrooms are cooked, add the garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, 1 min.
b) Stir in the chicken stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) into the pan.
c) Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 3-4 mins.
a) Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the creme fraiche, peas and cheese.
b) Add the cooked spaghetti and toss to coat in the sauce until warmed through.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The creamy, garlicky sauce is well-received, with the truffle adding an earthy depth that many enjoy. Opinions on the truffle zest are mixed; some love it, while others prefer to leave it out entirely.
- Ease of prep: This is a quick and straightforward dish with minimal prep, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
- Suggestions: Adding chorizo or an onion can boost the flavour, and doubling the sauce is worth considering if you prefer a more generous coating. Some found the pasta needed a little longer than stated to reach the right tenderness.
- Next-day meals: Portions are generous and the dish stretches well when feeding extra guests.
