Pasta with Garlic and Italian Mushrooms





A meat-free meal for two using just five simple ingredients - and on the table in 20 minutes!





Serves 2





Preparation time: 10 mins


Cooking time: 10 mins





484kcals/20.9g fat/3.7g saturated fat 2g salt per serving





Ingredients


125g De Cecco Cavatappi Pasta


2 slices wholemeal bread (at least 1 day old), crusts removed


280g jar Waitrose Italian Mixed Mushrooms, drained, 2 tbsp of the oil reserved


1 large clove garlic, finely sliced


1 pack fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped





Instructions


Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the pack instructions. Drain well and cover.





Meanwhile, place the bread in a blender or food processor and pulse to make breadcrumbs. Heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved oil from the mushrooms in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the crumbs and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes, or until golden. Transfer to a plate.





Return the pan to a medium heat. Add the remaining oil and the garlic and gently cook for about 1 minute until just golden. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook for a further minute to heat through. Add the pasta and toss to mix, then carefully stir in the parsley. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and at the very last minute, add the breadcrumbs. Serve immediately with shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano and a tomato salad.





Cook's tips


For a more indulgent sauce, add a 200ml tub cr猫me fra卯che with the pasta in Step 3 and allow to warm through.





Try using other Waitrose antipasti, such as a 280g jar Waitrose Italian Mixed Peppers, as an alternative to the mixed mushrooms.





For ease, make batches of fried breadcrumbs and freeze until needed. They are ideal for adding as a topping to bakes, gratins and other pasta dishes. Using day-old bread gives a better, finer crumb than fresh bread, which can be too doughy.
Stuffed Pasta Shells with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce


1 bunch fresh spinach


2 tablespoon vegetable oil


1 Spanish onion, chopped


4 garlic clove, minced


1 green bell pepper, chopped


15 ounce part-skim ricotta cheese


1 large whole eggs, beaten


1 tablespoon basil, chopped


1 teaspoon salt


1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper


8 ounce pasta shells


3 roasted red bell peppers


1/4 cup dry red wine


1 tablespoon tomato paste


2 tablespoon red bell pepper, chopped


1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese





Cook:60 Min (cooking time) Preparation


Pick the spinach leaves and wash in cold water.


Heat a large pot of salted water over high heat. Heat half the oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Stir in two-thirds of the onion and half the garlic. Saute for about 2 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 4 minutes.


Remove the spinach; chop and reserve. Add the green pepper to the pan and saute until tender. Add the green peppers to reserved spinach. Add the ricotta cheese, egg and basil to the spinach mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Add the pasta shells to the boiling salted water and cook until tender.


Heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add the remaining onion and garlic and saute until tender. Stir in roasted red peppers, wine and tomato paste.


Simmer the pepper mixture for 5 minutes, remove from the heat and puree in a blender.


Spoon the cheese mixture into the cooked pasta shells. Sprinkle the diced red pepper in the bottom of a casserole dish. Place the stuffed shells in the casserole dish in a single layer. Spoon the roasted pepper sauce over the pasta shells.


Top the casserole with Parmesan cheese. Bake until sauce is bubbly and cheese has melted, about 30 minutes.
I highly recommend a visit to http://www.allrecipes.com It's a lifesaver!
I would go to Foodnetwork.com. Type in pasta at the top and a huge list will come up and they even list how difficult the recipes are. You can't miss with the Food Network. I love it and use it all the time.
My family told me it was better than any pasta they have ever had at a restaurant and said I must make it again. I knew it was a keeper. Hope you Enjoy as much as we did!!!

Blend ricotta with pecana and hazelnut, put garlic, an onion and 6 pounds of tomato to heat, add a bottle of wine, a bottle of oil and four pounds of chopped meat. After fifteen minutes crush the tomatoes without peeling them. Add a quart of milk, two spoons of salt, rosemary, cinnamon and mushrooms of several types. Get some water, a bottle of wine and a bottle of oil, add 2 pounds of egg pasta and break them in the middle. After ten minutes the pasta should be cooked. Mix the two cooked mixtures and it should be ready for 18 persons. Add 2 pounds of parmesan cheese, it is cheaper in the countryside. This recipe should be three dollars a plate.
