Fettucini With Mushrooms
This is a very quick and easy recipe to make. It uses lots of garlic which means you probably don’t want to have it for lunch just before an important meeting. However, garlic is a great aid to health. The active components are antiseptic and kill those cold and flu causing bugs. (Mind you, part of its effectiveness may be because no one comes close to you after eating it!)
Fettucini With Mushrooms
Ingredients:
400g mushrooms
4 – 6 cloves garlic
300 ml sour cream
400g fresh egg fettucini (if not available use regular packet fettucini)
salt and pepper to taste
oil for frying
chopped parsley for garnish
Method:
- Clean and slice mushrooms. Some people like to wash the mushrooms, others like to just wipe them with paper towel.
- Heat oil in a saucepan and add crushed garlic. Fry for about 30 seconds then add the sliced mushrooms.
- Fry gently until the mushrooms are soft.
- Add sour cream, mis through and heat gently. Do not allow to boil.
- Cook fettucini in boiling salted water until al dente (usually 8-11 minutes depending on brand and how firm you like it).
- Drain fettucini and add mushroom sauce. Serve with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
Variations
You can use butter instead of the oil for frying. You could also use about 100g butter instead of the sour cream to make the sauce.
