Pasta with sprouts

This dish was inspired by
jelmer, a long time ago. It serves one or two.
Ingredients
Method
Clean, halve and wash the sprouts. Clean the mushrooms and halve them; quarter large ones.
Put pasta water on.
Cook the sprouts for about 2 minutes in a bit of water, then drain.
Cut the garlic in thin slices. Wash and chop the herbs.
Put the pasta in the boiling water (with some salt if desired). In a large frying pan, heat some olive oil. Fry the bacon bits, then add the mushrooms and garlic. Once the mushrooms are no longer raw, add a large heaping teaspoon (or more, if you like) of mustard. Stir regularly.
Five minutes before the pasta is done, add the sprouts to the bacon and mushroom. Stirfry a bit more.
When the pasta is cooked to your liking, drain it well and add it to the bacon-mushrooms-sprouts mixture. Also add the fresh herbs. Stir well, then take off the heat and serve.
