- 4 large garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 large carrots, finely diced
- 2 sticks of celery, finely diced
- 400g mushrooms (any variety), finely chopped like mince

2. Add the mushrooms and season well with salt and pepper. Fry, stirring often, till they start to pick up colour and lose some of their moisture.
3. Tip in the tomatoes and add a splash of balsamic and the wine. Let it bubble up till it reduces down a bit and the sauce starts to thicken up.
4. Meanwhile, cook your spaghetti in the pan of boiling water for 8-10 misn till its' cooked through but still has some bite. Drain.
5. Once the pasta is done and the sauce is thick, give it a little taste. Adjust seasoning as needed. Fold in the herbs. Tumble the pasta through the sauce. Plate up and finish each with a mound of greenery, such as rocket or watercress, a little drizzle of olive oil and some grated Italian hard cheese, if liked.
