Linguine Aglio Olio with bacon & mushrooms

I have really no sense in cooking!

I've seen recipes and videos on how to cook Aglio Olio, but still failed for twice...

First time too dry and bland -.-

Second time too salty!

And finally the third time is quite a success ones!

*maybe I should thank the bacon..haha*

Here are the ingredients I used for 3 portions:-

Linguine 300g

White Button Mushrooms 8pcs

Bacon streaks

Basil leaves

Garlic

Dried Basil/Parsley

Black pepper

Chilli flakes

Salt

Olive Oil 4tbsp

VCO 2tbsp

*I roughly use 3 tbsp of oil for 100g portion*

First of all, heat up the pan and pan fry the bacon without oil...

and while frying it, boil a pot of water with salt and some oil to cook the linguine until the texture & saltiness you like and get it drained & set aside by then.

When the bacon is turning brown, turn off the stove and set it aside.

But still, remaining the bacon fats in pan!

*p/s: why lah bacon shrink? T__T*

Bring in the oil and pan fry the garlic in medium fire until it turned slightly brownish

Then add in the chopped mushrooms and cook until they released the liquid 

*until they shrink, literally*

Then add in the fresh basil leaves and a pinch of salt

and add in the cooked bacon, and let them stay in the pan for like 2 mins in medium low fire then turn it off~

Finally, add in the linguine and mix well together with chilli flakes, parseley/basil, and black pepper

and TADAAAAAAA
