Mushroom and chive tagliatelle

I picked up a recipe leaflet today at Asda and thought it looked extremely tasty. I bought the ingredients whilst there and cooked it tonight. Absolutely delicious!

10g butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion sliced
2 garlic cloves finely chopped
500g chestnut mushrooms sliced
150g baby button mushrooms
150ml white wine or cider
200ml low fat creme fraiche
3 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
350g tagliatelle
Salt and black pepper

If using dried pasta then get that on straightaway. If fresh pasta is used cook that in the final two minutes of the recipe.

Melt the oil and butter and add the onion and garlic. Cook until soft. Add the mushrooms and white wine and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the creme fraiche and half of the chives. Season to taste and heat through. Mix the cooked pasta with the sauce and serve immediately. Garnish with black pepper and a few long chives.

I added a good grating of parmesan cheese on top.
