Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
150g baby mushrooms, halved
150g tagliatelle
2 garlic cloves, crushed
200g low-fat crème fraîche
15g parmesan or vegetarian alternative, grated
120g baby spinach
½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onion and mushrooms for 10 mins, or until softened and browned slightly. Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions.
  • Add the garlic to the pan with the mushrooms and cook for 2 mins more. Tip in the crème fraîche and parmesan, stir to combine, then add the baby spinach. Set aside.
  • Remove the pasta from the heat and drain, reserving 25ml of the water. Toss the pasta in the creamy mushroom sauce, put back on the heat and cook over a low heat until the spinach wilts, about 5 mins. Pour in enough of the reserved water to loosen slightly. Season with black pepper and finish with a sprinkle of chilli flakes, if you like.
