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.
