  • 3 garlic cloves - minced
  • 120 grams mushrooms - sliced

Instructions
 

PREP

    MAKE

    • Boil a pot of salted water and add fettucine. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente.
    • Crumble the sausage meat directly into a pan on medium-high heat. Cook for 5 minutes until it's nicely browned on the outside. Add mushrooms and garlic and cook for a further minute.
    • Deglaze the pan with either ¼ cup stock or white wine.
    • Add sundried tomatoes, thyme and cream to pan. Cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
    • Add fettucine directly to the pan, using tongs. This will bring a bit of the cooking water with it to helping the sauce to stick well to the pasta. Stir well to combine.

    SERVE

    • Serve into bowls topped with parmesan.
    • slice mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes / crumble sausages
