- Extra Easy - 1 Hea per serving
- Green/Vegetarian - 1 Hea per serving (use Italian style hard cheese)
- WW Smart Points - 11 per serving
Ingredients
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- cooking oil spray
- 3 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 400g/14oz of mushrooms, chopped
- 2 cups (480ml) of chicken or vegetable stock
- handful of fresh parsley, chopped
- 270g/9.5oz of ricotta - 3 HEa's
- 30g/1oz of parmesan (or Italian hard cheese) - grated
- 1 egg, beaten
- 200g/7oz of uncooked pasta of choice (I used farfalle)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180c (350f)
- Spray a frying pan over a medium high heat with cooking oil spray.
- Add the onion and fry for a few minutes until softened.
- Add in the mushrooms and garlic and slowly add in 1 cup of the stock a bit at time, reducing down until you add another bit. This should give the mushrooms and onion a lovely golden colour.
- While the mushroom mix is cooking, add the pasta to a saucepan of boiling hot water and cook till al dente.
- Once the 1 cup of stock has been totally reduced down into the mushrooms, stir in the chopped parsley and add in the other cup of stock and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat.
- Whisk together the egg and ricotta and stir into the mushrooms.
- Add in the pasta and mix to combine.
- Sprinkle with the parmesan and season with some black pepper.
- Cover with foil and bake covered for 20 mins, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until lightly golden on top.
- Serve and enjoy!!
