Ingredients (for 4 people):

• 400 g uncooked penne (or other pasta)
• 50g butter
• 1 onion
• 2 cloves of garlic

Instructions :

1. Prepare the pasta. Cook the penne al dente according to package directions. Drain.
2. Prepare all other ingredients. Clean the mushrooms and slice them. Peel and chop the onion and garlic.
3. Prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in a large skillet or sauté pan. Add the onion and garlic and sweat for 2 minutes over medium heat (10/14 for me), mixing.
4. Add the mushrooms and cook for another 10 minutes. Mix often.
5. Add the liquid cream and mustard. Salt and pepper. Mix and simmer for 2 minutes.
6. Add the penne and continue cooking for another 2 minutes, stirring to coat them well with the sauce and warm them through.
