• Boil the kettle. • Finely chop brown onion and garlic. • Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat with a good drizzle of olive oil. Cook sliced mushrooms and onion, stirring occasionally, until just softened, 6-8 minutes. • Add garlic and herb & mushroom seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

• Add light cooking cream, the boiling water (13/4 cups for 2 people / 31/2 cups for 4 people), vegetable stock and orecchiette. Stir to combine and bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to medium and cover with a lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is ‘al dente’, 11 minutes. • Stir through Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

• While pasta is cooking, thinly slice pear. • To a medium bowl, add a drizzle of the vinegar and olive oil. • Top dressing with mixed salad leaves and pear. Season to taste and toss to combine.

• Divide one-pot garlicky mushroom orecchiette between bowls. • Serve with green salad. Enjoy!
