Fettuccine Pasta With Mushroom & Cashew Sauce image

This recipe which I found in a 'Healthy Eating' magazine, can be a main dish or a side dish with a simple meat dish eg. grilled steak or chicken breast. Serve as soon as cooked or the sauce will thicken too much on standing and will need thinning with a splash of hot water. Use more garlic if you like :) I do !!
