Cooking Steps
• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Finely chop garlic. Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. Roughly chop parsley. Thinly slice pear. • Cook fettuccine in the boiling water until 'al dente', 9 minutes. Drain, reserving some cooking water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), then return pasta to saucepan. Drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Meanwhile, heat butter and a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Cook sliced mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 8-10 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium and add light cooking cream. Add vegetable stock pot and stir to combine. Simmer until thickened, 1-2 minutes.
• Add baby spinach, drained fettuccine, 1/2 the grated Parmesan cheese and some reserved cooking water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people) to the sauce. Toss to combine. • Remove pan from heat and add a splash more cooking water if needed. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a medium bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, honey and a drizzle of olive oil. Season. Add pear and rocket leaves and toss to coat. • Divide creamy mushroom fettuccine between bowls and serve with rocket and pear salad. Drizzle some truffle oil over the pasta. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over pasta and salad. Garnish with parsley to serve.
TIP: Truffle oil has a strong flavour, use it sparingly!
