Spaghetti with Garlic, Mushroom & Peas

You don’t have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces – just good food from fresh ingredients – Julia Child

The week started as a really interesting one with so many things happening and me getting totally busy in my “blog world”. I finally got hold of a copy of “Plate to Pixel – Digital Food Photography & Styling” by Helene Dujardin, a book I have been longing to read. If you are serious about food photography, this is the right choice. The simplicity in the writing and the stunning photos are a real inspiration, especially if you are a newbie.

So as I was saying about my week, after a late Friday night at my friends place chit chatting and watching a movie, my Saturday morning turned out to be a slow n sleepy one and all I needed was a “minimal effort lunch”. So I decided, it’s going to be a meatless Saturday with mushrooms as the highlight! Ohh by the way, I love mushrooms and its combination with all sorts of ingredients, like garlic, broccoli, peas or chicken.

And here I have from my collection, one of my few recipes for a comfort food with minimum ingredients. It is super easy to cook and you can vary the ingredients with protein or other veggies per the availability in your pantry.

This time I’ve skipped preparing my white sauce, instead made it simple with only garlic, mushrooms and peas, and topped with some grated parmesan cheese. If you love the creamy texture of the white sauce, you can check out my previous pasta recipe and mix it to this dish. Both taste delicious…!!!

Enjoy…!!
