Check the seasoning, adding a pinch of sugar if required.
    Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water according to package instructions, then drain. Meanwhile saute the bacon in a dry pan until it is crispy, then remove and set to one side. Heat the rest of the olive oil in the same pan and saute the mushrooms. Season. Pour in the wine, and stir in the juices at the bottom of the pan. Cook for a few minutes, then add it to the tomato sauce and continue to cook for a few more minutes. Stir in the bacon.
    To serve, mix the spaghetti with the sauce and shaved pecorino and some oregano to garnish.
