Try your hand at Mia Botcher's recipe for creamy pasta with mushrooms - without the lactose of course!
Ingredients
500g tagliatelle pasta
500g mushrooms, sliced
300g Lactofree soft white cheese
2 big handfuls of chopped parsley
2 cloves of garlic, pressed (optional)
150-250ml of pasta water (water that has been strained from the pasta after cooking)
Salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste
Olive oil
Lactofree Products
Instructions
1. Put the pasta in a pot of boiling salted water to cook.
2. While the pasta is cooking, sauté the mushrooms in a little bit of oil until they start to brown, then take the pan off the heat and wait until the pasta is done.
3. Strain the pasta, keeping some of the water for the sauce.
4. Put the pan of mushrooms back on the heat and add the pressed garlic and sauté for a minute.
5. Add the Lactofree soft white cheese and some of the pasta water and let it all melt together. Cook for a few minutes (adding more pasta water if needed) until you get a creamy sauce that is a bit on the runny side, so the pasta has something to soak up.
6. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste (the pasta water will have added some salt, so taste before adding spices).
7. Toss the pasta and parsley in the sauce and serve.
