Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Finely chop brown onion and garlic. • Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat with a good drizzle of olive oil. Cook sliced mushrooms and onion, stirring occasionally, until just softened, 6-8 minutes. • Add garlic and herb & mushroom seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add plant-based cooking cream, boiling water (13/4 cups for 2P / 31/2 cups for 4P), vegetable stock powder and orecchiette. • Stir to combine and bring to boil. • Reduce heat to medium and cover with a lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is 'al dente', 10 minutes. • Stir through Parmesan cheese. Season to taste.
TIP: Add a dash more water if the pasta is looking dry!
• While pasta is cooking, thinly slice pear. • To a medium bowl, add a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. • Top dressing with mixed salad leaves and pear. Season and toss to combine.
• Divide one-pot creamy mushroom orecchiette between bowls. • Serve with pear salad. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Many enjoyed the creamy, flavourful pasta, though some found it overly salty or mushroom-heavy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy one-pot meal, though some had issues with pasta cooking unevenly. Consider par-boiling the orecchiette first.
- Suggestions: Try adding extra veggies like kale, spinach, or zucchini for more variety. Some preferred leaving the lid off to avoid overflow.
- Leftovers: The dish may feel heavy when eaten over multiple meals. Consider lighter sides or smaller portions if saving for later.
- Salad: While some enjoyed the pear salad, others found it unnecessary or preferred apple instead of pear.
