Spaghetti with mushrooms in creamy sauce
Description
This sauce can be served not only with spaghetti but with any type of pasta. For extra flavor and rich aroma, I add a bit more bacon; you can substitute it with chicken or vegetables. This dish is not meant to be prepared in advance—better to make it in portions. However, you can prepare the sauce ahead of time, then reheat it and mix with the pasta.
