Pasta with Tomato, Bacon and Mushroom Sauce

This is a good recipe! I did it without the parsley and basil and just used mixed herbs and a bit of dried parsley and it was still really nice. I just used Edam cheese, too.

not a photo from the actual recipe!

250g mushrooms, sliced

Salt and pepper, to taste
