Notes
- If you want to add some extra protein, you could grill some chicken, chop it up and stir it in to the finished sauce.
- Add some extra greens by stirring in some spinach a couple of minutes before the sauce is cooked.
- Add some extra vegetables by adding some frozen peas or sweetcorn at the same time as cooking the pasta.
- A little bit of truffle oil drizzled over the finished dish adds loads of extra flavour and makes it a bit more special.
- For an extra rich flavour, add a splash of white wine.
- Make this recipe gluten free by swapping the spaghetti for your favourite gluten free pasta.
- Use a variety of mushrooms to add plenty of different textures and flavours.
- This dish is best made from fresh as the sauce can separate when defrosted and reheated.
- When using Parmesan, try to grate it fresh rather than using a bag of pre-grated cheese, as you will have a much stronger flavour.
- To make this mushroom pasta even quicker, use some fresh pasta which is ready in a few minutes.
- If you like your food spicy, then add a sprinkle of red chilli flakes on top before serving.
- Add a splash of olive oil to the pan before serving for an extra boost of flavour.
