The former Great British Bake Off judge has shared a plethora of recipes throughout her career, but this simple recipe has raving reviews on the BBC Good Food website
Mary Berry has wowed fans with her countless recipes, but one simple dish has been earning rave reviews on BBC Good Food.
The recipe’s notes reveal: “This is my standby pasta supper as it is so delicious, so quick and everyone loves it. Great for every day or for casual supper parties too. It’s a base is a crème fraîche pasta sauce and it’s topped with crispy Parma ham, which gives tons of flavour and great texture.”
This crowd-pleaser serves six and can be whipped up in just 15 minutes, using only a handful of ingredients that might already be in your pantry.
Ingredients
- 350g penne pasta
- Two 80g packs of Parma ham, snipped into small pieces
- 250g small brown chestnut mushrooms, halved or quartered
- 200g full-fat crème fraîche
- 100g parmesan, grated
- Two tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper
Method
The method is straightforward, reports the Express. Cook the pasta, fry the ham until crispy, set half aside, then fry the mushrooms. Add crème fraîche, bring to a boil, toss in the pasta, parmesan, and parsley, season, and serve with a green salad and crunchy bread for a delectable quick dinner.
The recipe notes included a couple of savvy tips: “If you want to use reduced fat crème fraîche, just stir it through at the end of cooking otherwise it will split. “For special occasions, add a pack of asparagus tips to the pasta four minutes before the end of cooking time, then drain with the pasta.”
