- Easy
- Serves 2
Ingredients
- 300g chestnut mushrooms
- olive oil, for frying
- 1 tbsp garlic granules
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp pul biber
- 2 heaped tbsp light tahini
- 3 tbsp light soy sauce
- 150-200g tagliatelle, spaghetti or linguine
Method
- STEP 1
Put the mushrooms in a food processor and pulse briefly until just chopped, but not puréed. Or, chop finely using a knife. Tip the chopped mushrooms into a dry frying pan over a high heat and fry until all the liquid has evaporated and they are beginning to brown. Drizzle in a glug of olive oil and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the garlic granules, oregano and pul biber, and stir well. Add the tahini and just enough water to dissolve the tahini completely. Add the soy sauce, then mix well, season, stir again and set aside.
- STEP 2
Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions, then drain, reserving a mugful of the cooking water.
- STEP 3
Return the pasta its pan and pour over the mushroom sauce and some of the reserved cooking water. Mix well over a high heat, adding another drizzle of olive oil, if you like. Taste for seasoning, adding a little more water to thin out the sauce, if needed. Serve immediately.
