For anyone that knows me, I have a complete aversion to mushrooms. So this recipe was not for me. Feeling a little hungover myself and my other half fancied a bit of pasta. So he got creamy mushroom and bacon tagliatelle and I had tomato and bacon tagliatelle. Feedback from my guinea pig was very positive.
