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.

    This is one of my son's favourites I add a full red chilli chopped and chopped lean grilled bacon this gives it a bit more taste plus the Worstershire Sauce.

    too hot for the family's taste. maybe i put too much chilli in. next time i think i will reduce a little bit of chilli and add some bacon to the tomato sauce. And a bit more garlic to the mushrooms.

    This is a very easy, cheap and delicious meal. I used chilli flakes and added quite a lot, and it worked really well - the dish had a good 'kick'. Also, being a big cheese fan, I added cheddar cheese on top of the mushrooms once served. Excelent dish - a must try! Enjoy!

    A really tasty hassle free meal, it looks great when topped with the mushrooms, definitely something you could serve with pride! Following comments from others I added another two garlic cloves to the mushrooms and one to the sauce and used a whole red chilli instead of half. Worked for us.

    Yum! Quick and easy and tasty. Agree that the mushrooms would be nice more garlicky but all in all a hit!

    A quick and easy recipe - perfect for post-work cooking. I added prawns to bulk it up a little - worked really well.

    Made my own tomato sauce adding some puree, sliced garlic and a sprinkle of vegetable stock granules for extra flavour. Left out the celery. Was dee-lish-ous! Now a regular favourite for veggies and non-veggies alike!
