Recipe Review: Creamy Mushroom Bacon

This is a recipe Mr LFL and I often use now, which originated as Creamy Mushroom Chicken on the lactofree website (yes, as well as amazing products they have a heap of recipes to use them in!). So often as a lactose free being, especially in restaurants, you are faced with a tomato based sauce, or a tomato based sauce. I really missed the variety I could have before being LF. 

This recipe is really easy to use. We have substituted bacon for chicken, because it adds a little more flavour - otherwise it can seem a little bland if used with just chicken. You could even try chicken and bacon, which we may do if we tire of just bacon. The sauce picks up the bacon flavour and makes it all taste really nice - even the mushrooms, which I don't even like! You end up with a lovely plate of pasta, with bacon and mushrooms in a creamy wine sauce, which all tastes really good and is easy to eat (espcially with a sore throat, as I currently do. Shame it doesn't bring back lost voices too!).

The only downside to this recipe is that it does use a lot of lactofree products (cream and soft cheese), and these are not often easy to find in supermarkets (particularly smaller supermarkets), and are slightly pricey. However, the fact this is not yet another tomato-based sauce makes it well worth a try.

Give it a go if you have a LF friend - or just want something different.
