Method

1. Place the cream, Parmesan cheese and bacon rind in a medium, heavy-based saucepan. Bring to a gentle bubble and reduce for 5-6 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add in the spaghetti and cook for 4-5 minutes or until al-dente. Drain.

3. Meanwhile, heat a large, heavy-based frying pan or wok. Add in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and then the pancetta. Fry briskly, stirring often, until the pancetta is crispy.

4. Add in the remaining olive oil and the mushrooms and fry, stirring, for 2-3 minutes.

5. Add in the drained spaghetti and toss well. Strain the reduced cream into the pan and add in the cooked chicken.

6. Season well with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and toss thoroughly again.

7. Toss in the mixed leaves, divide among 2 warmed deep bowls, sprinkle with Parmesan and serve at once.

Really lovely simple meal. I used half fat creme fraiche instead of double creme to be healthier and added chopped parsley. Great to heat up for lunch too the next day!
