Mushroom-and-rosemary fettuccine

Serves 3

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

500 g small whole portabellini mushrooms
olive oil, for frying
2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary
25 g butter
½ cup white wine, (or mushroom stock)
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
250 g fresh fettuccine, cooked al dente
60-70 g Woolworths burratina mozzarella, for serving
wild rocket, for serving

Method

1. Trim the ends if necessary but leave the mushrooms whole. Wipe clean with damp a cast-iron grill pan and grill over a fairly high heat until tender and slightly charred – about 10 minutes.

2. Stir-fry the oiled mushrooms in a large non-stick or heavy cast-iron pan with the rosemary for about 5 minutes, until barely tender.

3. Stir in the butter until melted, then pour in the wine or stock. Bring to a bubble. Simmer until well-reduced, stirring continuously. Discard the rosemary and check the seasoning.

4. Arrange nests of freshly cooked pasta on large plates and spoon over the mushrooms. Add shreds of mozzarella and scatter over the rocket.
