- PESTO: Blend all Basil leaves in a blender until finely chopped. Add olive oil and cheese & blend some more.
- PASTA: Cook pasta in lightly salted boiling water for appropriate time (usually 2-3 mins)
- Whilst water is boiling, quarter or quarter and quarter again the tomatoes and place in frying pan. Fry on fairly high heat for 1-2 mins.
- Thickly slice or quarter the Mushrooms and add to tomatoes, frying on high heat until mushrooms are fairly soft. (If mushrooms are cooked before pasta is cooked then remove from heat as they will continue to shrink even when removed from the heat)

- Mix well until all combined and hot. Serve with rocket salad and some grated cheese (optional).
