• Glug olive oil or decent cooking oil
• 2 big field mushrooms diced or sliced into chunks
• 170g beef or lamb sliced into strips (I use lamb rump)
• ½ tsp paprika
• Cracked pepper & sea salt for seasoning
• 1 small clove of crushed garlic
• Handful parsley picked & chopped
• Handful basil fresh sliced
• 50g spinach washed & thinly sliced
• 3 spring onions washed & finely sliced
• 200g pasta ( I use fettuccine)
• 200g Crème fraiche

To Garnish

• Dill, a few bits picked over top
• Basil, a few bits picked over top
• Paprika, a little shake

1. Add pasta to boiling salted water.
2. When pasta is about 4 minutes away from being ready heat a high sided fry pan with a good glug of oil, add mushrooms & cook until soft.
3. Add your meat to pan, stir until meat is golden-brown on all sides.
4. Add your paprika, garlic, basil, parsley & seasoning, stir through so it totally coats the meat & mushrooms.
5. When the meat is cooked to your liking add the spinach & stir through until just wilted, add the spring onion & turn the hob off.
6. Drain your cooked pasta & tip the drained pasta into the pan with the meat & mushrooms.
7. Stir the Crème fraiche through, taste & season to your own taste.
8. Serve into bowl, give a wee sprinkle of paprika & pick some fresh herbs over the top.

• You can make this veggie – use some roasted
  peppers instead of meat.
• Bacon lardons works really nicely instead of beef or lamb also.
• A full fat natural yogurt will also work well instead of Creme fraiche.
