- . During the sauce making, prepare a salted pot of water to soon cook the pasta at the very 'al dente' stage
- . SAUCE: In a very large saucepan, heat the oil and butter on MEDIUM-HIGH heat. Sauté the bacon and then followed by the ham. Cook for a few minutes until lightly browned. LOWER the heat and remove the bacon and ham with a slotted spoon into a small bowl. Set aside. Increase the heat again to MEDIUM-HIGH heat and add the mushrooms. Cook them until the liquid has dried out and they have lightly browned. Again LOWER the heat and remove the mushrooms with a slotted spoon on top of the bacon. Set aside. Increase the heat again to MEDIUM heat and add the garlic and toss a few times. Then, mash in the tomato paste. Cook for about 1 minute. Add back in the bacon, ham and mushrooms. De-glaze with the Sherry wine. Add the (optional) peas and toss. Add the beef broth, followed by the milk and cook a few minutes on LOW-MEDIUM heat. Last, add the salt (to taste only).
- . Meanwhile, the pasta should have been cooking to a very 'al dente' stage. Add the pasta to the sauce and coat throughout. Cook for about 2 minutes or until desired texture is achieved.
- . Garnish with (optional) parsley and a generous grating of Parmesan cheese.
