How to Make Romantic Wild Mushroom And Walnut Conchiglie For Two

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 100g conchiglie pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
  2. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water, and return it to the pot.
  3. While the pasta cooks, drain a 200g jar of marinated wild mushrooms (in oil), roughly chop the mushrooms, and roughly chop 50g walnuts.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped mushrooms and walnuts with 2 tablespoons of finely grated Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons of half-fat crème fraîche. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley.
  6. Add the mushroom mixture to the cooked pasta. Toss to combine, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.
  7. Heat gently for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the sauce is well incorporated.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with extra walnuts, shaved Parmesan cheese, and a side of fresh salad and ciabatta or garlic bread.
