Creamy Tomato and Wild Garlic Pasta

This is so tasty – truly delicious and worth the effort! We use roasted red peppers and shredded oyster mushrooms for a great texture – this makes a wonderful spring or summer dish. If you can’t find wild garlic, you can replace it with finely diced spring onions.

Takes 30 minutes

Serves 2

Ingredients
 

  • 300 g pasta (we used Casarecce)
  • 250 g cherry tomatoes
  • 150 g oyster mushrooms
  • 340 g roasted peppers
  • 2 tbsp tamari
  • 1 red onion
  • ½ chilli
  • 35 g wild garlic or 3 spring onions
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 200 g yoghurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pasta
    Fill and boil the kettle. Once boiled, fill a large saucepan with the hot water and a generous pinch of salt.
    Add the pasta and cook according to the packet instructions.
    Once cooked, drain the pasta and rinse, reserving 1 cup (approx. 240ml) of the pasta water.
  • Prepare the vegetables
    Peel and finely dice the onion.
    Quarter the cherry tomatoes.
    Finely dice half the chilli.
    Shred the oyster mushrooms using a fork until they are completely torn apart.
    Finely dice the wild garlic or scallions.
    Remove the rosemary leaves from the stalks and finely chop.
  • Cook the vegetables
    Heat a non-stick frying pan on high heat. Add the olive oil and, once hot, fry the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until it starts to brown around the edges.
    Add the shredded mushrooms and rosemary to the pan, cooking for another 4 minutes. Then, stir in the tamari (or soy sauce), ensuring each mushroom absorbs the flavour.
    Add the quartered cherry tomatoes and wild garlic/scallions, along with a pinch of salt, and mix well. Cook while you finely chop the roasted red peppers.
  • Add the roasted peppers
    Discard any brine from the roasted peppers (or save it for pickling), then add the chopped peppers to the pan.
    Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Create the creamy sauce
    Pour in half of the reserved pasta water (approx. 100ml), along with the yoghurt. Stir through and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
    Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  • Combine pasta
    Add the cooked pasta to the pan and mix well to coat in the sauce.
    Serve immediately – and if possible, enjoy in the sunshine for an extra-special meal!
