Fusilli Pasta in Bechamel Sauce with Wild Mushroom and Bacon

It's been awhile since I posted something in my blog, not realising that November had already passed. The past two weeks were so busy, I had forgotten the date but now, I'm back with my laid back self. Even though life was busy, we still have to eat, after all, eating keeps us up, without food, we will all go weak and loose focus on the things we need to finish. Since I experienced the wonders of cooking my own food, I enjoyed it so much that I rather cook than eat fast food junks. I do enjoy fast food, but not everyday, because of three reasons: 1. health; 2. body; 3. money. I will not expand and explain it further, for sure you know what I mean, if you don't, just look how much oil they use. Anyway, the food for today is actually my uncle's creation, I just posted it because it was so good. I totally love bechamel sauce, then with bacon and the wild mushrroms, it's like an epiphany. We used two kinds of mushroom, the one that can be bought in Tesco (grocery store), and the other one came from the forest of Poland, specially handpicked by our very good friend who came from Poland (I don't know if I should write his name because of Data Protection. lol). The final product was so good because the creaminess of the sauce blended well with the juiciness and saltiness of the bacon and earthiness of the wild mushrooms. Though I just want to remind everyone to be cautious with using too much bacon and salt, not only for taste reasons, but also for health issues, too much salt and fat is not good. Also, try using skimmed milk rather than full fat milk and not to use too much butter. Try to use healthy options because cooking and indulging with homemade salty and fatty food is like eating out in fast food chains which totally destructs the meaning of cooking your own healthy food.

Ingredients:

Fusilli Pasta

50 gram Unsalted Butter

50 gram Flour

1 litre of Skimmed Milk

Bacon

Wild Mushrooms

Salt and Pepper

Direction:

On a deep pan, melt the butter then sift the flour and add to the melted butter, mix it then gradually add the milk. Make sure that it won't burn and there are no lumps Add salt and pepper to taste.. On a separate pan, fry the bacon and mushroom, you may want to add a bit of salt, but the bacon would do the job for the saltiness. Meanwhile boil the pasta as directed on the packaging, usually, farfalle pasta are boiled for 11-13 minutes. After all of these are done, combine the bacon and mushroom to the white sauce, mix, plate the pasta with the sauce, take  picture before eating. Bon Appetit Mes Amis : )
