10 Minute Mushroom Pasta - Fab Food 4 All

It’s too hot, the kids are on their summer break and you really want to be spending as little time in the kitchen as possible, well help is at hand with my simple vegetarian 10 Minute Mushroom Pasta.

My daughter went on a trip to Wales with her school recently and so my hubby and son decided they wanted to get a kebab. Not being a fan of kebabs this left me with no other choice than to rustle up something for myself. After a quick fridge and cupboard raid I chucked a few ingredients together crossing my fingers that my efforts would be OK. Well they were more than OK and my dinner was ready in a little over 10 minutes just as the boys got back with their kebabs!

Of course both of them were curious about my dinner and tried some saying “you can make that again” so make it again I did for all of us.

The first version was creamier than the pictures show so you can tailor the dish to your taste accordingly.

My daughter, who had missed out the first time round, gave my 10 Minute Mushroom Pasta a big thumbs up and as my son had gone out last night (for a kebab with his friends funnily enough) she tucked into seconds with huge enthusiasm!

    Im not vegetarian but as a family we do enjoy vegetarian food at least a couple of times a week. This looks brilliant, quick, easy, cheap and more importantly, family friendly. I think I know whats on the menu tonight!
