Creamy Bison and Bacon Linguine
with Mushrooms and Apple Spinach Salad
This creamy linguine dish is full of savoury umami notes from mushrooms and bison, with bacon adding another level of savoury flavour. A light and refreshing apple-spinach side salad is the perfect balance for the delightfully rich cream sauce.
Produced in a facility that processes milk, sesame, eggs, fish, shellfish, crustaceans, mustard, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybean and sulphites.
