Based loosely on this. I recommend meals like this no more than once a month unless you wish to be the subject of mathematical jokes starting "Assume a spherical cow."
It is, however, unspeakably nice. It's where mushrooms go when they have been Really Quite Remarkably Good Indeed.
Frying pan
Olive oil
300-500g mushrooms, diced largeish
25-50g butter
300ml double cream
A squirt of soy sauce
Just a little tabasco
Pasta, preferably penne
Olive oil into the pan. Fry the mushrooms in it. Add the butter. Fry the mushrooms a bit longer.
(At this point, you should taste a piece or two of mushroom. You'll see what I mean above. OH MY GOD.)
Put the penne on. Add the cream, soy sauce and chili. Stir lots and lots. It should be reduced by the time the penne is done.
Under no circumstances endeavour to count the calories.
(I used to eat meals like this all the time in Fitzroy cafés. I'm amazed I didn't have to roll there and back.)

Alternative version. Delete tabasco and soy. Add snails prior to mushrooms, followed by garlic and mix in finely chopped parsley prior to serving.
Mmmm.....

And yes, don't even think about the calories.

Do you know what that is going to do to my diet?!

I abhor mushrooms
Substituting pure lard for the 'rooms has to be permissible, no?August 15 2003, 07:17:47 UTC 8 years ago
Re: I abhor mushrooms
Only if you substitute lard for the penne as well.August 15 2003, 07:31:40 UTC 8 years ago

I think you're looking at it all wrong -- it's not unhealthy if it's got good stuff like pasta and mushies; sooo many mushrooms! ;)

not necessarily a bad thing if you do something energetic to use the calories...you decide what. This is left as an exercise for the reader.

There, y'see, now we've all had sme exercise without even leaving our screens, so we can eat all the creamy mushroom goodness we want. :-)
