You will need:
- A chopping board
- A teaspoon
- A tablespoon
- 2 x Large saucepans
- Cooking spoon
- A colander
- A cheese grater
Ingredients:
- 1 White Onion
- 500g Button Mushrooms
- A Pinch of Salt & Pepper
- 1-2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder, Oregano, Dried Basil
- 300g Pasta (whichever type you fancy, we chose Penne)
- Lymn Bank Hot & Garlic Cheddar Cheese Barrel
- 1 Can of Chopped Tomatoes
- 2 Tbsp of Tomato Puree
- 150ml of Double Cream
Method:
-
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the tsps of herbs and the chopped onion to the saucepan to gently fry for 3-4 minutes, mixing regularly to ensure it does not burn or stick to the pan.
-
Add the pepper, stir together, and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes before adding the mushrooms and stirring together once more.
-
Once the mushrooms have cooked for 2-3 minutes, add in the tomato puree and mix it into the vegetables.
-
Pour the can of chopped tomatoes into the saucepan, stir, and allow the sauce to come to the boil.
-
Using the second saucepan, cook the penne following pack instructions.
-
Whilst the pasta is cooking, reduce the heat of the pasta sauce, add the salt and pepper, and double cream. Leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring continuously.
-
Once cooked, drain the pasta and add it to the sauce mixture and generously stir it to ensure all the pasta is covered in the sauce.
-
Grate 50g of the Lymn Bank Hot & Garlic Cheddar Cheese Barrel and add this to the pasta and stir in.
-
Remove the pasta from the heat, and serve immediately.
-
Grate the additional Hot & Garlic Cheddar and sprinkle it on top of each serving.
-
Enjoy!
