  • 300g button mushrooms, thickly sliced
  • 6 green shallots, trimmed, finely chopped
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) thickened cream

Instructions:
  • Prepare the pasta in a generously salted pot of boiling water according to the package instructions, cooking until just tender.
  • Next, gently add the asparagus to a pot of boiling salted water. Cook for 5-6 minutes until vibrant green and slightly crisp. Drain and cut into 2cm pieces.
