- 160 g (~ 5 1/2 oz) pasta (I used farfalle)
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 250 g mushrooms (I used chestnut mushrooms)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 250 ml (~ 1 cup) dry white wine
- 1/2 vegetable stock cube, crumbled
- 125 ml (~ 1/2 cup) cream (I used single cream)
- Black pepper
- Few sprigs fresh parsley, chopped
Boil the pasta in plenty of water until cooked al dente - approximately 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt the butter with the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, and add the chopped onion. Cook for a few minutes, until slightly soft and fragrant, then add the mushrooms and the minced garlic. Cook for a further 5 minutes, until the mushrooms and onion are soft.
Next, add the white wine to the pan with the mushrooms, and raise the heat a little (medium-high), to bring the wine to a simmer. Crumble the stock cube into the liquid, allowing it to dissolve. Cook for a few minutes, in order to cook off the alcohol.
Turn the heat back down to medium-low, and stir in the cream. Add plenty of black pepper and most of the fresh parsley (save a little back for garnish), and mix to combine.
