Ideal for vegetarians or those wanting to cut down their meat intake, this pasta will help keep you fuller for longer.
Gently fry the onion and oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan for 5 minutes until soft but not coloured. At the same time, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil.
Add the mushrooms to the frying pan along with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Turn the heat up to medium and cook for 5 minutes, moving often until golden. Throw in the radicchio to wilt.
Add the cream, Parmesan and walnuts. Give everything a good stir and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Add the fresh pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente (2-3 minutes). Drain, reserving some cooking water, and then tip the pasta into the sauce, coating it well. Add some of the reserved water to loosen the sauce.
Serve with black pepper, extra Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil.
Tip: Dried pasta also works perfectly for this dish. Just cook for 2-3 minutes less than the packet’s instructions. It should be tender but still firm.
