  • 250g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • a good pinch chilli flakes

  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 50g parmesan or grana padano, finely grated

Direction

    1. Cook the linguine. Heat the butter in a frying pan, add the mushrooms and fry until really soft and golden and any liquid has reduced to almost nothing.Add the garlic and chilli and cook for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the sage and cook for another minute. Season really well.
    2. Drain the pasta but keep a teacupful of the cooking water. Add the linguine to the mushroom pan with the lemon juice, parmesan and enough pasta water to make a light sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is coated then serve.
