Mushroom ragu pasta (freezer friendly)

A wholesome, filling dish for when only carbs will do. The olive oil and garlic in this recipe is so tasty and it’s a guaranteed winner for an evening in. Whilst this recipe is best enjoyed with a wide variety of mushrooms, it also works just as well with one type so, if you’re scouring the shelves for porcini, remember keeping it simple is definitely an option.
