Buckwheat Mushroom Pasta
Ma Nourriture
This 8 minute meal is yet another gem discovered during lockdown in our beautiful Midhurst AirBnB that's now become our home. We all know how much comfort food was needed in lockdown! In trying times stews are always the way to my heart. We had duck breasts in the fridge because bestie and I were are on a mission to prioritise protein in our day-to-day and in lockdown boredom, she was branching out. I always have mushrooms because they're delicious, super nutritious and easy! So I decided to create some comforting magic.

Swapsies
! Garlic is a high FODMAP food. I don't react to it, but if you're not sure what you're reacting to, garlic and onions are well-known offenders. You can still use garlic infused olive oil, but replace the fresh garlic with chives and/or mustard seeds.
♡ We swapped white pasta for buckwheat noodles as they are better for grain-sensitive foodies: with slow digestions, gluten or fructan sensitivities.Wholewheat pasta is also a good option if you have a slow digestion and both have nutrients and fiber that white pasta doesn't.
Method
First
THE MUSHROOMS
- Wash and chop the mushrooms.
- Crush the garlic with a mortar & pestle.
- Bring a pan to medium heat, add the butter, garlic, mushrooms and spices and fry for a minute or two.

- Add another 15ml of water and leave to sauté for another 2 min.
Then
THE NOODLES
- Rinse the noodles.
- Bring a pan of water (1 cup) to the boil then add the noodles and lower to medium heat.

For the love of:
GARLIC
- Helps maintain blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and protects against heart disease
- Strengthens the immune system, good for gut bacteria
- Contains antioxidants that prevent cell damage and may have anti-ageing properties
- Protects joint cartilage reducing the risk of osteoarthritis
Easy to grow, very low environmental impact, good for the planet.
GRASS-FED
- Grass contains nutrients, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fatty acids that are good for humans.
- We benefit from these when we consume dairy products from grass-fed animals.
- Dairy animals evolved to eat mostly grass. A diet of high-starch grains causes digestive stress and illness.
