Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, add the mushrooms, then fry over a high heat for 3 mins until golden and softened. Add the garlic, fry for 1 min more, then tip into a bowl with the parsley. Add the onion and celery to the pan with the rest of the oil, then fry for 5 mins until lightly coloured.
  2. Stir in the tomatoes, chilli and a little salt, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 mins until thickened. Meanwhile, boil the spaghetti, then drain. Toss with the sauce, top with the garlicky mushrooms, then serve.

IF YOU WANT TO USE A SLOW COOKER...

Leave the Italian flavours to infuse for hours by adapting this recipe. Simply place all the ingredients except the parsley and pasta in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low for 6-7 hours. Just before you're ready to eat, cook your spaghetti, drain, mix with the mushroom mix and scatter with parsley to serve.

    Fantastic! My 14 year old son helped to make this. A very quick and easy mid-week meal that went down well with all the family.

    I added extra garlic to the mushrooms and put some garlic into the tomato sauce along with a dollop of tomato ketchup. Very tasty and quick.

    Used courgettes instead of celery as Dawn did,used passatta instead of tinned tomatos and added a splash of worcester sauce. Very tasty! Will definately make this again.

    Agree with the others that it lacked something - although a splash of red wine to the sauce helped. More garlic would have improved the flavour I think. Added a handful of wilted spinach to up the veggie content.

    This was a quick and easy week night meal but I have to agree that it was missing something. It definitely needed a little more chilli or garlic. The garlic in the mushrooms wasn't really strong enough to carry the dish. I kept the celery in and actually quite liked it even though I'm not usually a fan.
