This mushroom pasta is not cooked on the stove, rather it’s cooked in one pan in the oven. It’s a creamy and hearty twist on a pasta bake.

Ingredients

10g dried forest mushrooms (or dried porcini)

2 vegetable stock cubes

50g unsalted butter, chopped

200g Swiss brown mushrooms, sliced

200g button, halved

200g oyster mushrooms, sliced if large

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1/2 cup (125ml) white wine

300g dried short pasta (such as malfade corte)

2 sprigs rosemary

100g baby spinach leaves

200ml crème fraîche

finely grated parmesan, for serving

Method

Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Combine dried mushrooms, crumbled stock cubes and 1 litre boiling water in a heatproof jug. Stir to dissolve the stock cube and set aside.

Place butter, all the mushrooms, garlic and wine in a large shallow casserole pan with lid. Season with salt and pepper and place in oven. Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes, stirring halfway, or until mushrooms are tender and starting to caramelise.

Add mushroom stock mixture, pasta and rosemary and stir to combine, making sure the pasta is in an even layer (don’t worry if a few pieces stick out from the stock, as the steam will cook the pasta). Cover tightly with lid or foil and bake for 30 minutes, or until the pasta is just cooked through.

Remove from the oven, remove rosemary sprigs, stir through spinach leaves and crème fraîche and season.

How to serve this mushroom pasta

Serve with finely grated parmesan.

What kind of pasta works best?

Malfade corte is short ruffled pasta about 2-3cm in length. It’s great for soups, baked pasta and hearty pasta sauces.

Which dish is suitable to cook this mushroom pasta?

We suggest using a shallow casserole pan with a lid. If you don’t have one, use a roasting pan (approx. 28cm x 22cm) and a double layer of foil to cover.
