By @thecooksplacemalton

Serves 4 – 6

Ingredients

  • Handful of toasted sesame seeds

  • Large pinch of toasted chilli flakes  

  • 850g button or chestnut mushrooms, chopped

  • A splash of rapeseed oil
  • 6 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp harissa
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 8 spring onions, finely chopped
  • 1 handful of fresh coriander, torn into big pieces
  • 300g water
  • 300g milk
  • 400g fusilli pasta 

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Heat a large frying pan and dry fry the mushrooms until they release their juices and then add the oil, reduce the heat and add the garlic.

Step 2

Add all the spices and cook for 5 mins before adding the cooked pasta. If you want the dish to be more soup-like or served as a hot pasta dish, add the milk and water here and bring to a boil. If you want your dish to be a salad-style meal, simply add the spring onions and coriander leaves and serve.
