Ingredients
  • • Dry Pasta, 2 cups (I used fusilli)
  • • Olive Oil, 3 tablespoons
  • • Butter, 1+1/2 tablespoon
  • • Garlic Cloves, 5-6 large, chopped
  • • Mushrooms, 8-10 sliced
  • • Single Cream, ⅔ cup or 160 ml ( I used D'lecta Creme 25%; available at Nature's Basket)
  • • Grated Cheddar Cheese, ⅓ cup
  • • Salt, pepper, dried oregano, as per taste
Method
  1. In a large pan, boil water with some salt. Once it reaches a roaring boil, throw in the dry pasta and cook until the pasta is done. Sieve it and set the pasta aside to be used later. Save some pasta water for the sauce.
  2. In another pan, heat olive oil and butter and toss in the chopped garlic. Fry the garlic on medium flame until fragrant and golden in color. Add in the sliced mushrooms. Make sure you take a large pan otherwise the mushrooms will be too crowded and won't cook well.
  3. Cook mushrooms until golden with slightly brown edges. Add in the cream and grated cheese along with the seasonings. Cook on low flame until the cheese melts, add in a little pasta water that you reserved to thin down the sauce if required.
  4. Mix the pasta in this sauce and cook for a couple of minutes until properly mixed.
  5. Serve hot with some garlic bread (or not).
