Instructions
1 Prep
- Boil a kettle of water.
- Add the boiled water to a large pot over a high heat with a generous pinch of salt.
- Trim and finely slice the spring onion.
- Deseed and finely slice the red pepper.
- Clean the mushrooms with a cloth, knife or brush (don't wash them with water).
- Roughly chop or tear the mushrooms.
2 Fry
- Heat a large pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Once hot, add the spring onion, peppers and mushrooms with a pinch of salt.
- Fry for 5 min or until softened.
3 Boil pasta
- Meanwhile, once the water is boiling, add the fusilli pasta.
- Cook for 8-10 min until 'al dente' or cooked to your liking.
- Reserve a cup of pasta water (to use in step 6).
- Drain.
4 Add spices
- Meanwhile, add the cajun spice (spicy!), tomato paste and garlic powder to the pan.
- Fry for 1 min further.
Tip! Substitute the cajun spice for smoked paprika and a pinch of sugar for a milder version!
5 Simmer
- After 1 min, add the cooking cream, measured water, 0.5 mushroom stock cube and half of the grated Parmesan (reserve the rest for garnish) to the pan.
- Simmer for 5 min further.
- Once the mushroom sauce has thickened, add the cooked pasta to the sauce. Toss.
6 Serve
- Meanwhile, slice the lemon into wedges.
- Finely chop the chives.
- Season generously with pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste.
- Serve the Creamy Cajun Mushroom Pasta with Peppers.
- Garnish with the chives and remaining grated Parmesan.
- Serve the remaining lemon wedges alongside.
Tip! Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if the sauce looks too dry.
