Method

  1. Bring a pan of water to the boil and cook the pasta following the pack instructions, adding the Kalettes for the last 3-4 mins of cooking time.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil and butter in a frying pan until the butter is foaming, then stir in the mushrooms and cook until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are turning golden. Add the garlic and sundried tomatoes and cook for 2-3 mins, until golden.
  3. Drain the pasta and Kalettes, retaining a little of the cooking water. Toss with the mushrooms in the pan. Stir in the lemon zest and juice. Season with black pepper.
