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 lovely once you added to it. Taken from the advice above i used courgettes instead of celery, used more garlick and chilli. Definately needs more chiili. I also used a stock cube, marmite and a dash of Hendersons Relish (its a south yorkshire thing)...

    Looked nothing like it did in the pic! Too spicy for me, but the mushrooms were tasty nonetheless. Will definitely use garlic puree next time though. A good quick tea!

    Great dish but there wasn't enough sauce for my taste but just needed extra tomatoes.

    I love this. I cook it about once every 2 weeks. Its a perfect healthy mid-week meal, or lunch- of course I shower it with tons of parmesan before serving! I usually add more chilli and garlic- but I do that with everything.

    Having read the other comments, I decided to go abit crazy with the garlic & chilli, doubling the garlic cloves and adding a bit of garlic puree. I also used chopped tomatoes with chilli and a shake of tabasco. Tasty!

    I haven't tried this yet but I know that if you crush garlic rather than slice it, it will give you a stronger flavour. The larger the garlic piece, the milder the flavour.

    I used corriander instead of parsley and it tasted fantastic - adding a little edge to the dish.

    It was alright. Better than throwing the mushrooms that I had leftover away.
