A Romantic Dish of Mixed Mushrooms and Pasta.

Mushrooms have a lovely flavours, aromas and textures. Just a little garlic, chilli and lemon juice allow them to reveal all of their sensuous charms. This mushroom recipe is based on a recipe by Jamie Oliver, the Naked Chef. I suggest you remain fully clothed in the kitchen at least, in the dining room and after...well that's up to you!

If you have the ingredients at hand you will need only half an hour to prepare this, plenty of time to deal with any distractions that may pop up later.

You will need a mixture of mushroom types, the more variety you can get the better. You could do this with just portobello mushrooms but try to find some oyster mushrooms, maybe some swiss browns, girolles, some shitake and some common field mushrooms as well. The recipe also calls for some chilli and garlic, both will add some savour to the evening. This recipe is best with fresh pasta, rather than the dry, but dry packet pasta will do at a pinch.

Get Ready

* 250g fresh pasta, tagliatelle or linguini
* 150-200g (5-7oz) mushrooms see above
* 2 tablespoons of olive oil
* A crushed clove of garlic
* Pinch of chilli powder or a crushed dry chilli
* A lemon (every mushroom recipe is improved by a lemon)
* Pinch salt and some pepper
* Quarter cup of grated Parmesan cheese
* Half cup of roughly chopped parsley
* 50g Butter

Now do it

* Chop or tear the mushrooms into small pieces (Don't wash them, brush them with a cloth if necessary)
* Using a large pan quickly fry the mushrooms in hot olive oil, tossing and turning as you go, add some salt, reserve some for the end
* Add the garlic and chilli powder
* After 4-5 minutes turn off the heat and add the juice of the lemon
* Meanwhile cook the pasta in hot salted water until al dente. Soggy spag is a turn off.
* Put the drained pasta on top of the mushrooms add the Parmesan, butter and parsley.
* Toss well, and serve with passion and a chilled glass of white or rose wine.
