Pasta with Mushrooms
Pasta con Funghi
This has to be one of easiest pasta dishes to make…just pick up some mixed mushrooms from your greengrocer and most other items you will have in the fridge or pantry already. You can use any pasta for this dish - either short like farfalle, penne , zitti, or long like fettucini or ribbons.

500g of your choice of pasta
400g of mixed mushrooms (like swiss brown, portobello, oyster, slippery jacks)

1/2 cup of chopped parsley
Dried chilli flakes

Put the pasta into salted boiling water and cook until al dente

Drain the pasta, saving a little of the water.
