Garlic cream pasta with prawns.
Heat a tablespoon of oil and add 4 sliced mushrooms to the oil with a pinch of salt. This helps to draw some of the liquid from the mushrooms. When they begin to soften add a clove of chopped garlic, cook gently for a minute or two and add a splash of white wine. Let this bubble away. Sprinkle in a good pinch of dried chilli. Add a good splash of double cream. Turn the heat down to low. Meanwhile cook 200g of pasta in salted boiling water.
3 minutes before the pasta is ready, add some frozen peas to the sauce, a good grating of parmesan, some chopped parsley and the prawns.
Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water. Add the pasta to the sauce. Stir and check for seasoning. Serve in warmed bowls.
