Instructions

Instructions and steps: 

Step 1 Heat oil in a frying pan. Gently fry onion and garlic. Add bacon. Cook for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms. Cook for 2 more minutes.

Step 2 Add basil, rosemary, evaporated milk and flour to pan mixture. Bring to a light boil, stirring regularly, so it doesn't stick to pan. Allow to simmer until it thickens.

Step 3 Cook fettuccine following packet directions. Drain. Drizzle with a little olive oil and set aside.

Step 4 Add smoked chicken to pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add cooked fettuccine to coat in creamy mixture. Cook for about 1 minute until food is heated through.

Step 5 Transfer to a serving dish. Serve with a green salad.
