This is a very quick and easy supper recipe, I don't think you need exact quantities, use as many mushrooms as you have, as much pasta as you want, then add two heaped spoonfuls of double cream for each person, and enough Parmesan cheese as you think you'd like. Then just increase the quantities depending on how many you're cooking for. This only takes as long as it takes to cook pasta.

I enjoy cooking mostly because I like eating, but also because it's a great way to relax at the end of the day. I work in book publishing and especially enjoy creating cookbooks written by cooks who love cooking and sharing food rather than creating show stopping dishes that take days to put together. As Nigel Slater would say; 'we are, after all, simply making ourselves something to eat'. I live with my lovely daughter Isobel who rarely pays any kind of compliment but will occasionally admit something I've cooked was quite nice, and our dog Piper, who will eat anything.
