Creamy mushroom and 'bacon' spaghetti

This creamy, smoky pasta is such an easy but delicious meal to whip up in around 20 minutes. Topped with crispy smoky tempeh lardons this is a taste sensation without much effort.

​Ingredients

• 200g Tempeh

• 200g mixed Mushrooms

• 150g dry weight Spaghetti

• 1 tbsp miso paste

• 50g Parmesan

• 100ml cream

Tempeh marinade-

• 1 tbsp Smoked paprika

• 1 tsp Garlic granules

• 1 tbsp Liquid smoke

• 1 tbsp Soy sauce

Method

1. Chop the tempeh up into lardon size/shape and put into a container with a lid.

2. Mix up the marinade ingredients and pour over the tempeh. Put the lid on the container and shake until all of the pieces are covered and set aside.

3. Dice up the mushrooms small and fry off until crispy.

4. Cook the spaghetti to packet instructions and keep the pasta water.

5. In the empty pan put in the miso paste and the parmesan and add the spaghetti on top and some pasta water. Mix until combined.

6. Add in the cream and put on a low heat.

7. Fry off the tempeh pieces until crispy.

9. Serve the spaghetti topped with the tempeh pieces and some more parmesan.

10. Enjoy!
