Serves: 4

Notes

Ingredients

• 500g mushrooms
• 375g packet fettucine
• 50g butter
• 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 large fresh chilli or 1 tsp chilli paste
• 2 Tbsp Italian parsley, finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
• 150ml cream
• 2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
• Freshly ground black pepper

Method

Add pasta to a pot of boiling water with salt and a little oil to avoid the pasta sticking. Cook till al dente. Place oil and butter in a pan. Once the butter is melted add the mushrooms and allow them to sauté over a medium heat for about 2 minutes. Remove from the pan. To the pan, add chopped chilli, nutmeg, cream, parmesan and pepper. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and toss it into the sauce, add to the pan, the cooked mushrooms and parsley and mix well. Place in a warm bowl and serve. (You can add more nutmeg and cheese to taste if you wish).
