Creamy Pasta with Mushrooms and Brussel Sprouts

Posted 2016-10-12 by finy ⇒ follow

I wanted a full meal using mainly vegetables, so tried this combination. If you are a meat eater, this could be a good accompaniment with your meat dish however it was ample for me as a main meal.

I added some cheesy sauce and hot chillies to give it some punch. It would also be nice with a simple, dressed salad.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Makes: 3 - 4 servings

Ingredients
About 100 g whole-wheat pasta
Chillies to taste - I used dried red ones, whole
2 cups sliced mushrooms - you can use any mixture
2 cups brussel sprouts, chopped finely
1 clove garlic, crushed
¼ cup dry sherry
1 cup milk
1 tbsp plain flour
½ cup cheese, grated, plus a bit extra to garnish

Method

Cook the pasta as per packet instructions.

Leave in the hot water till almost ready to serve to keep pasta hot.

Meanwhile, heat a bit of oil in a wok and add the chillies.

After a minute, add the mushrooms and brussel sprouts.
