Today’s recipe is such a simple pasta recipe but so tasty.

To be honest, I think pasta tastes delicious even on its own, with some olive oil.
You can never get it wrong.
The recipe I made is chilli penne pasta with mushroom butter.
I saw the chilli pasta last week while doing my groceries and thought I might give it a go.
It’s really a bit spicy and would taste lovely with chorizo but I had mushrooms I needed to use:), so I made some mushroom butter and of course added lots of cheese.:) 
It was soo good it’s almost gone now. And I only used one main ingredient – mushrooms!
But everything with butter and cheese tastes good, right?:)
Here’s what you need.
