Try a super simple way to cook pasta and minimise your washing up, with our One-pot Mushroom Pasta recipe. It may sound like pasta sacrilege, but you won’t regret trying this one. Flat mushrooms bring an earthy flavour, with aromatic herbs and a creamy sauce making this a comforting dish for a family dinner. It’s also a great recipe to batch cook for lunch portions. Al dente means ‘to the tooth’ in Italian – meaning your pasta should still have a slight bite to it. The best way to make sure your pasta is al dente (not too soft, not too hard) is to try a piece of spaghetti or fettuccine as you cook it. Looking for more pasta recipes?
