Fast food veggie style


This is a recipe I adapted from Gino's Pasta by Gino D'Acampo.  His wasn't a vegetarian recipe but this is  hard to beat when time is against you. Start to plate in under 15 minutes, can't get better than that.  




Tagliatelle with Mushrooms in a Dolcelatte and Cream Sauce
2tbs olive oil
400g/14oz Portabello or any large field mushrooms sliced thickly about 1.5-2 cms
200g/8oz Dolcelatte cheese
150m1/ ¼ pint double cream
75ml 1/8 pint dry white wine
2tbs chopped sage
400g/14oz fresh tagliatelle
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat.  Add the mushrooms and sauté for about   6-8 minutes until the mushrooms start to brown and stir occasionally.  Lower the heat and add the dolcelatte.  Continue to cook for two minutes, stirring until the cheese has melted
Pour in the cream and wine and continue stirring and cook for a further minute,
Add the chopped sage and season with salt and pepper.  Set aside.
Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water until al dente.  Reserve a little of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and tip back into the same saucepan.
Pour in the mushroom mixture and stir together for about 30 seconds until the pasta is coated all over by the sauce.  If it is looking too thick add a little of the reserved pasta water.
Serve immediately with some crusty bread and a green salad.
