Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the spaghettini, and cook until al dente, about 6 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander, reserving the cooking liquid for the sauce.
  2. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, until golden brown. Add the onion, garlic, pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.

    Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until the mixture turns reddish-brown, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, until the mushrooms begin to soften. Add 1 cup of the cooking liquid, stir, and bring to a boil.

  3. Add the spaghettini, 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid, butter, and herbs to the skillet. Cook, shaking the pan, until the pasta has absorbed some of the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Thin the dish with the remaining cooking liquid if necessary. Divide the spaghettini and sauce among plates and sprinkle with Parmesan.
