• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice pear (see ingredients) and mushrooms.
• Cook spaghetti in boiling water until 'al dente', 10 minutes. • Reserve pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), then drain and return to saucepan.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• While the pasta is cooking, heat a large frying pan over high heat with the butter and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon and mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until browned, 6-7 minutes. • Add garlic and herb & mushroom seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Reduce heat to low and add cream (see ingredients), reserved pasta water and chicken-style stock powder to the frying pan. Stir to combine and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Add cooked spaghetti and toss to combine. Season with pepper.
• In a medium bowl, combine the honey and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. • Add pear and spinach & rocket mix (see ingredients) and toss to coat. Season.
