Pasta with Garlic and Italian Mushrooms

A meat-free meal for two using just five simple ingredients - and on the table in 20 minutes!

Serves 2

Preparation time: 10 mins
Cooking time: 10 mins

484kcals/20.9g fat/3.7g saturated fat 2g salt per serving

Ingredients
125g De Cecco Cavatappi Pasta
2 slices wholemeal bread (at least 1 day old), crusts removed
280g jar Waitrose Italian Mixed Mushrooms, drained, 2 tbsp of the oil reserved
1 large clove garlic, finely sliced
1 pack fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped

Instructions
Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the pack instructions. Drain well and cover.

Meanwhile, place the bread in a blender or food processor and pulse to make breadcrumbs. Heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved oil from the mushrooms in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the crumbs and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes, or until golden. Transfer to a plate.

Return the pan to a medium heat. Add the remaining oil and the garlic and gently cook for about 1 minute until just golden. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook for a further minute to heat through. Add the pasta and toss to mix, then carefully stir in the parsley. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and at the very last minute, add the breadcrumbs. Serve immediately with shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano and a tomato salad.

Cook's tips
For a more indulgent sauce, add a 200ml tub crème fraîche with the pasta in Step 3 and allow to warm through.

Try using other Waitrose antipasti, such as a 280g jar Waitrose Italian Mixed Peppers, as an alternative to the mixed mushrooms.

For ease, make batches of fried breadcrumbs and freeze until needed. They are ideal for adding as a topping to bakes, gratins and other pasta dishes. Using day-old bread gives a better, finer crumb than fresh bread, which can be too doughy.

Answer 2

Blend ricotta with pecana and hazelnut, put garlic, an onion and 6 pounds of tomato to heat, add a bottle of wine, a bottle of oil and four pounds of chopped meat. After fifteen minutes crush the tomatoes without peeling them. Add a quart of milk, two spoons of salt, rosemary, cinnamon and mushrooms of several types. Get some water, a bottle of wine and a bottle of oil, add 2 pounds of egg pasta and break them in the middle. After ten minutes the pasta should be cooked. Mix the two cooked mixtures and it should be ready for 18 persons. Add 2 pounds of parmesan cheese, it is cheaper in the countryside. This recipe should be three dollars a plate.
