A cozy, creamy pasta loaded with mushrooms, garlic & rich tomato flavour - perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients:
120g farfalle pasta (dry)
200g button mushrooms, sliced
1 tsp olive oil
8 garlic cloves, finely chopped
400g tinned San Marzano tomatoes
1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp black pepper
Salt to taste
2 tbsp cream cheese
a little grated parmesan cheese
Method:
Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve a little pasta water before draining. Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the garlic for 30–40 seconds until fragrant. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until golden and softened. Pour in the tomatoes and break them down with a spoon. Add chilli powder, oregano, black pepper, and salt, then simmer for 8–10 minutes. Stir in the cream cheese until the sauce turns creamy and silky. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed. Toss in the cooked pasta and coat everything beautifully in the sauce. Finish with extra black pepper, oregano, or chilli flakes if you like it spicy.
