cup stale breadcrumbs
Olive
oil
3.4
oz blanched hazelnuts
4
cloves of garlic, minced
3
springs of fresh thyme, leaves removed
12
oz mixed mushrooms, cleaned and chopped
1
tsp dried chili flakes
1
14oz can tomatoes
10
oz dried penne
1
oz parmesan cheese

the breadcrumbs into a medium non-stick frying pan on low head with 1 tbsp oil.
Crush hazelnuts, add to the pan. Add 2
cloves of garlic and thyme leaves. Toss
until golden and crisp
Place large non-stick frying pan on high heat,
add mushrooms and dry-fry for 1 minute.
Add
remaining garlic, chilli flakes, and 1 tbsp oil. Cook 3 minutes, tossing regularly.
Add
tomatoes, 1 can of water, and continue to cook on medium heat until pasta is
ready.
Meanwhile,
