Ingredients 8 ingredients

  1. 1/2 Lb Pasta -- to 2/3 lb, spirals
  2. 1 Onion
  3. 1/2 Lb Mushrooms
  4. 4 Garlic Cloves -- or 5
  5. Dry Sherry -- some
  6. 1 Can Skim Milk, Evaporated
  7. 1 Tsp Salt
  8. Black Pepper -- to taste

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Chop the onion, garlic, and mushroom. Saute over high heat in enough sherry to keep it wet for about 10 min. Put the pasta water on to boil.
  2. Reduce the heat under the veggies and add the tin of milk. Put the pasta in the boiling water. Simmer the sauce over low heat while the pasta cooks. Add salt & black pepper to taste. Let simmer for about 5 min, which should be enough time to cook the pasta.
  3. Drain the pasta, pour the sauce over the pasta, and serve. Sprinkle with a bit of Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast, and more black pepper, to taste.
