Spring onion and mushroom stroganoff recipe

Spring onion and mushroom stroganoff pasta is the perfect way to whip up a stroganoff for a mid-week dinner as it only takes 20 minutes to get ready. The perfect excuse not to spend any more time in the kitchen! This vegetarian stroganoff option is family friendly and made up of fridge staples. If you don't have any leeks you can always just substitute in more spring onions. We love the combination of flavours in this spring onion and mushroom stroganoff - not to mention how delicious the creamy sauce is with pasta. Mushrooms, cream and carbohydrates - all of our favourites!

1. Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water, according to pack directions.
2. Meanwhile, heat half the oil in a frying pan, and cook the spring onions and leek for 2 mins. Take out of the pan and set aside in a large bowl.
3. Turn up the heat and add the rest of the oil, the butter and mushrooms, and fry for 5 mins until browned. Season well and put in the bowl with the spring onions and leek. Drain pasta and add to vegetables.
4. Spoon the wine into the pan, let it bubble, then add the crème fraîche and just heat it through. Add the parsley.
5. Divide pasta and vegetables between 2 hot bowls and spoon the sauce over. Serve with a spinach and nut salad, if liked.
