Method
- Cook the pasta tubes in a large pan of boiling salted water for 10 mins, adding the peas for the final 3 mins, until just tender.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the pork strips and stir-fry over a high heat for 5 mins until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add the garlic to the pan, cook over a medium heat for 30 secs then pour in the mushroom sauce and bring to the boil, stirring. Return the pork to the pan and simmer for 1 min to heat through.
- Drain the pasta and peas, add to the sauce and stir to coat. Pile into bowls and serve with a generous grating of Parmesan and freshly ground pepper.
