- Clean and slice the mushrooms while the pasta cooks. If you prefer, you can cut them smaller, to your liking!

- Add a splash of white wine and keep the pan on the heat until the mushrooms are almost done.
- Cut the bacon into strips and, when the mushrooms are almost done, add them to the pan. Season with a pinch of ground garlic, stir well and let cook for five minutes to continue with the recipe for pasta with bacon and onion.
