    I like pasta as much as pizza. It is one of my guilt pleasures. This recipe is very easy to do and tasty even for the kids.

    Ingredients

    • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
    • 5 spring onions, thinly sliced
    • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
    • 250g fresh shiitake mushrooms, trimmed, halved and thinly sliced
    • 500g button mushrooms, halved and thinly sliced
    • Salt
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons plain flour
    • 2 cups low-fat milk
    • White pepper
    • 375g penne
    • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
    • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    Directions

    1. Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan over moderate heat.
    2. Add the spring onions and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the shiitakes, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until tender.
    3. Add the button mushrooms and sprinkle with salt to taste.
    4. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
    5. Increase the heat to high, uncover and cook for 4 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated.
    6. Sprinkle with the flour, stirring until absorbed.
    7. Gradually add the milk and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in pepper to taste.
    8. Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water according to the packet directions, until firm-tender.
    9. Drain well and transfer to a large serving bowl.
    10. Add the sauce, butter and Parmesan to the hot pasta, tossing well to coat, then top with another grinding of pepper.
    11. *I like finishing it with a sprinkle of diced fresh basil leaves on top.
