Prep Time: 10-15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
1 clove garlic, crushed
½ red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped (or a pinch of dried chilli flakes)
250g chestnut mushroom, thickly sliced
1 tsp salt
150g fettuccine
2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
¼ tsp fresh-ground black pepper
Instructions:
In a medium frying pan, heat the olive oil over a moderately low heat. Add the garlic and chilli and cook, stirring until the garlic softens.
Add the sliced mushrooms and the salt and cook until the mushrooms exude liquid, the liquid evaporates, and the mushrooms begin to brown. This will take about 5 minutes.
In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghetti. Drain and toss with the mushroom mixture, the parsley, and the pepper.
