Creamy Mushroom Pasta

Hello
I'm still struggling with sleep. I tried a different tactic last night but was still awake until the wee small hours. Feeling a lot of pressure under my eyes, at the top of my nose and over the top of my head today along with increased pain on the right. Anyway, I thought I'd share another recipe - I made this one last night for my dinner as the rest of the family were having pizza.


Creamy Mushroom Pasta

I used small soup pasta shells for this but you could use other pasta and cut it (or break it before cooking).

Ingredients:
3 large mushrooms, chopped very finely
4 spring onions, chopped very finely
2 cloves garlic, crushed
150-200g pasta
1/2 cup of cream (or dairy free substitute)

Method:

  1. Cook the pasta according to instructions.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, fry the onions and garlic in a little oil, until the onions begin to soften. Add the mushrooms and fry for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the cream and some seasoning to the onion and mushroom mix.
  4. Add the pasta to the creamy mixture and stir to distribute evenly. Serve and enjoy.


This will serve 2 people. As I struggle to eat a lot these days, it made 3 portions for me and I froze the remaining 2 for another day. Also, the measurements are approximate - experiment to suit your own tastes. You could use regular onions or shallots, miss the onions out completely (my dad's choice!), substitute with other veg (I'm thinking courgettes would be good and are still nice and soft). I feel cooking should be fun and a personal thing as we all have different tastes or dietary requirements. 

Have a great weekend 😎
