Peri-peri Pasta (with bacon and oyster mushrooms)

I have fallen in love with the Nando’s peri-peri sauces! Now that’s an understatement – it is more like an obsession, wanting to add the different sauces to just about anything I cook.

The first time I tasted Nando’s was after coming to Australia. But later got to hear that a Nando’s outlet opened in Chennai (Tamil Nadu, India) for the first time the month we flew to Oz land. Of all the different dishes that I have tasted in Nando’s, my all-time favourite is the corn on the cob smothered with the hot peri-peri sauce. Spicy sweetness in one bite – touching heaven’s doors! (as one of my classmates would put it)

Now, my pantry is always stocked with the different peri-peri sauces which I use to re-create many traditional meat dishes. Here I went overboard and used it for pasta. This is not one for the mild-hearted; it is spicy but not overpowering to burn your taste buds. Bacon and oyster mushrooms were a good choice as both are meaty and great for soaking up the sauce.

      I usually buy it at the Asian market nearby. It depends on where you are living.
