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.

    A very fresh tasting dish which I enjoyed. It was a little lacking in flavour though so I will add more garlic and chilli next time.

    It was ok...but not amazing. I added some courgettes but still think it missed something. More chilli was needed too.

    Made this tonight, but used 2 1/2 cloves of garlic and a full chilli, and only used 200g pasta rather than the reccomended 300g. Still I found there wasn't enough sauce compared to pasta for my taste (too little sauce), so I would definatly make again, but would up quantities for the sauce.

    My boyfriend adores this dish as he's a mushroom lover. I love it because it's so quick and simple to prepare, and low in fat too. However I do agree with others, it needs a little something more, so I just pop in more chilli, a dash of worcester sauce and squeeze of tomato puree to give it a little more depth of flavour.

    very nice although the tomato sauce needed much more flavour... perhaps a splash of tomato ketchup and some worcestershire sauce? I used 3 cloves of garlic and the mushrooms still arent that garlic-ky. But delicious all the same.

    Another triumph! This is delicious - we added a splash of balsamic vinegar for taste, and also a little extra garlic. I ate two bowls of it (woops!) and my other half devoured the rest. Kids weren't too keen but then they don't like spicy food, anyway. The great thing about this dish is you could substitute the veg for anything you have in the fridge - I used celery as I already had some, but you could throw peppers, courgette, carrots... anything in it, really! Gorgeous with some parmesan grated on top ^_^

    I think there could have been more depth of flavour here, something was missing - tried adding balsamic vinegar but that didnt help. Wont cook it again.

    Just had this for lunch, left out the celery as not the biggest fan but still tasted lovely. Doesn't take too long and was very easy! Next time will try to flavour the tomato sauce a little more also.

    Delicious! I've made this several times for dinner now. I add garlic and a splash of red wine to the pasta sauce for extra flavour.

    I made this according to the recipe and I did enjoy it, I had big cloves of garlic so maybe that helped, but I agree that the tomato part of the sauce could have done with something... probably more garlic! Mine was fairly spicy, but I used a large red chilli, and left half the seeds in, as I was worried about blandness... will make again with a couple of small tweaks... overall though, a nice recipe!
