1 Heat the olive oil and butter in a saucepan over a high heat and add the mushrooms, garlic and rosemary. Cook for 4 minutes, add a little of the porcini soaking water with some salt and pepper and reduce slightly.
2 Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water until al dente (firm to the bite). Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of the pasta water.

COOK’S TIP When making pasta always salt the water and measure out your portions (75g of dried pasta per person). Use a large pan and add the pasta to the water once it's boiling and never before.
