  • 10.6 oz gigli pasta (approx. 300g)
  • 8.8 oz beech mushrooms (approx. 250g)

  • 2.1 oz tomato tapenade (approx. 60g)

  • 1/2 piece vegetable stock cube
  • 3/4 tbsp olive oil (per person)

  1. Boil plenty of water in a pot with a lid for the pasta. Crumble 1/4 of a vegetable stock cube per person into the water. In a large pan or Dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and walnuts and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they start to brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
