Garlic Mushroom Pasta
Ingredients:
150g dried pasta of your choice
2 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
250g mushrooms
Black pepper, to taste
25g Parmesan cheese
2 heaped tablespoons of half fat crème fraiche
Method:
- Cook pasta as per packet instructions (usually about 10-12 minute)
- Meanwhile, peel and crush or finely slice the garlic and clean the mushrooms
- Heat a teaspoon of vegetable oil in a frying pan, over a medium heat
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add the mushrooms and some black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes or until golden. Stir regularly
- Drain the pasta (but reserve a mugful of the cooking water). Add the pasta to the frying pan with the mushrooms and add a tablespoon or 2 of the pasta cooking water. Stir to mix together
- Grate 20g of the parmesan straight into the frying pan, with the pasta and mushrooms, and then stir in the crème fraiche. Add a touch more black pepper, if you’d like
- Serve and grate the last 5g of the Parmesan cheese between both servings
* Any leftovers can be kept in the fridge to eat for up to 2 days later.
* If you don’t have crème fraiche you can use the same amount of low fat cream cheese instead
