Things You'll Need:
- 2 cups Pasta
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 10 small Mushrooms (any kind)
- 1/2 cup Pine nuts
- 4 tablespoons thick cream
- 3 tablespoons Pesto
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
-
Step 1
Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. You are aiming for cooked but firm. However you should cook it to your taste.
-
Step 2
In a small frying or saute pan (see Resources) heat the oil on a medium temperature. Add the mushrooms and saute for about 5 minutes.
-
Step 3
Add the pine nuts to the mushrooms and continue to cook until the pinenuts are slightly golden (about 6 minutes). Add the cream to the mixture and allow it to heat through.
-
Step 4
Drain the pasta, leave it in the pan and add the pesto. Mix well. Add half of the parmesan cheese and stir through. The cheese will melt - don't worry that's good.
-
Step 5
Add the creamy mushroom mixture to the pasta and combine the two. Serve onto plates or dishes and top with the remainder of the cheese. If you have some fresh parsley to hand, tear up and sprinkle over the top. Serve with a green salad and crusty french bread.
