Mushroom, tomato and basil pasta

a quick and easy pasta dish with some fresh ingredients.

Use a large pan, big enough to take all the pasta as well as the mushrooms and tomatoes

Begin by chopping the onions and gently frying them in the pan for a few minutes.

Thickly slice the mushrooms and add them to the pan and cook for several minutes until they have quite a bit of colour.

While the mushrooms are cooking roughly chop the tomatoes and when the mushrooms are coloured add the tomatoes to the pan. and cook on a gentle heat.

Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling water. When it’s ready (firm to the bite but does not taste floury) drain and tip the pasta onto the mushrooms and tomato mixture. (always add the pasta to the mixture (or sauce) incase you have cooked too much pasta and you can stop adding when you see it’s too much.)

Add a handful of chopped basil and mix the pan. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

serve immediately.
