Hey presto! This speedy Presto Chicken, Bacon and Mushroom Linguine is ready in under 25 minutes. Bacon acts as a cheat's pancetta here, tossed with chicken, mushrooms and fresh asparagus in a creamy sauce that's perfectly pleasing.
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
