Ingredients
1 pack smoked bacon
Extra diced ham (optional)
1 medium onion sliced
1-2 cloves of garlic crushed

Lactofree Products
Instructions
1. Cut all the fat and the end bits off the bacon slices, chop and place in a dry pan. Start frying slowly, then gradually turn the heat up until all the pieces of bacon and fat are brown and crispy. Drain onto kitchen paper.
2. Use the fat from the bacon to fry the onion first, then add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook for a few minutes until everything is soft, then add the remainder of the chopped bacon and cook for about a minute.
3. Mix the cornflour with the Lactofree dairy drink, add to pan with the herbs and black pepper. Bring to the boil, simmer for a minute or two, then check the seasoning. Add some chopped ham at this stage if you want the meal to go further.
4. Serve with gluten-free linguine or spaghetti with the bacon bits sprinkled on the top. Yummy!
