Garlic and Mushroom Spaghetti

Firstly I have to apologise for the absence of photographs for this one, I will add them next time I make this dish, which will be soon since my kids loved it and have asked if we can have it again really, really soon. Yesterday was a horrible day, there was a fire at my house in the morning (no it wasn't my cooking!) but it was extremely scary and destroyed a portion of my daughters bedroom including her bed, mattress and bedding, oh and her beloved beanie boos which she had only got for her birthday a few weeks ago. Anyway to better news, the food, which as I said was a hit all round and it is super, super simple. I didn't feel like cooking after the events of the day and was going to caved for packaged, convenience food but I didn't, I thought of the garlic, mushroom spaghetti on my meal plan, 4 ingredients, let's do it! Here's the recipe. Serves 6 8 cloves garlic, chopped really finely or minced if you prefer 300g mushroom, sliced finely 500g brown spaghetti (a little tricky to find, just use normal if you don't have dietary restrictions) 1 cup stock Splash of white wine (optional and I didn't use it) Method In a large pan of water boil your spaghetti Sautée your mushrooms and garlic with a little coconut oil, add stock (and wine if using) and let this dissolve by about 2/3 Drain spaghetti and mix through the mushrooms and garlic. Serve and enjoy Don't be put off by how simple this is, I was skeptical, I thought it had to be bland and not enjoyable with so few elements. I was wrong, it was good and my kids loved it so this will be made again and when I am feeling creative I will do a fancy version of this.
