• ▢ 1/3 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ▢ 8 g butter
• ▢ 2 Tablespoon soy sauce HERE to buy

Instructions

 

Preparation

• Bake or cook bacon before you use. I use my oven to bake bacon. Bake the bacon at 400°F (205°C) for 17-20 minutes
• Pasta – In a medium pot, add water and salt. When it's boiling, add spaghetti and cook for about 8 minutes.

  Please save 2TBSPpasta water before tossing.
• Slice mushrooms into the size you prefer, and cut green onion into small pieces.
