I had a hard time translating the main ingredients for this recipe - "sidfläsk". It's basically unsalted bacon, which means it's really pork belly - but it's sold here just like bacon, in thin slices. So, that's what I use. If you have some similar product, use that. Indeed, use bacon if you wish - the smokiness won't be bad at all here.
Add cheese if you'd like. It's never wrong. And go ahead and use a dry white wine instead of a sweet one - I just happened to have an open bottle of fairly sweet stuff, and it turned out really tasty. This serves 2-4 depending on what else you're eating, and how hungry you are
Chanterelle Pork Belly Pasta
(printable recipe)
140 g sliced pork belly ("sidfläsk")
1 yellow onion
2 small garlic cloves
300 g chanterelle mushrooms, cleaned
50 ml sweet white wine
200 ml cream (I used full-fat, use whatever you're comfortable with.)
salt
pepper
freshly boiled pasta
Chop the onion and garlic finely. Cut the pork into strips (lardons). Fry the pork in a hot pan until it turns crispy - pour out the fat if it's a lot. Add the onion and garlic for a few minutes, but don't let it burn. Add the mushrooms and fry for a few minutes, to release most of the liquid. Add wine and cream and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, then toss with freshly cooked pasta.

I'd say "uncured bacon" sounds like a similar item available in the US, but I have seen "pork belly" available at specialty markets (especially Asian).
Guud vilken bra sida. Slut med "vad ska vi äta idag?" frågan.
Snarare "vad ska vi inte äta idag?!"
Being Chinese I'm no stranger to pork belly. It's the stuff!
Bacon is right,bacon works.Bacon clarifies,cuts through,and captures the very essence of flavor and the evolutionary spirit.Bacon,in all its forms;bacon for life,bacon for love,bacon for knowledge as marked the upward surge for man and womankind.in the end bacon will always save us.

What kind of pasta is that?!?! I've never seen that shape before...or noticed it I guess??
I honestly don't remember what they called the shape - it's made with bronze extruders anyway, and it was really tasty with the sauce. But sorry - I've thrown away the bag!
Hej Anne

I didn't have dbl cream so substituted for creme fraiche and kanterelle's were not in our budget soo substituted with plain old button mushrooms sliced...
