Serves:
2

Freeze?  Microwave?:
You can probably freeze this, Maybe about 3 months (because it has meat in it).  I wouldn't try microwaving it to cook it... since it needs frying.... You could microwave it to reheat it.

Ingredients:

1/2 medium Onion
1 Clove Garlic
Fresh Chives (about a handful)
2 Mushrooms (Optional)
4 Rashers Bacon
Pepper to taste
Cheese (optional - I'd use 2 low fat cheese slices)
300 Ml Low Fat Cream

Preparation time:
Probably around 15 minutes.... as long as it takes Pasta to cook.

Method:

1). Put the Pasta on to boil.

2).  Chop the Bacon into bite sized pieces.  Finely chop the onion and garlic. 

3).  Fry the Bacon until about half cooked.  Add the Onion and fry until Bacon and Onion are browned.  Add the Garlic, Mushrooms and Chives. Fry these until starting to brown.

4). Add Cream, and stir well.  Simmer and add the cheese.  Simmer until the cream thickens.  If you want to thicken it quickly (and don't want it to reduce down), then add sopme corn flour.  To do that, mix 1 teaspoon of Corn flour with about 2-3 teaspoons of water and blend well.  Add this to the pan (while it is simmering), and it will thicken instantly.

5).  Either serve this poured over pasta, or mix the pasta through then serve.
