Recipe: Lemon Cream Sauce Mushroom Pasta

Cooking my meals in the dormitory has been a routine for me, because it is the cheapest way to be full and save money. I cooked this pasta with my friend and it tasted fabulous. Simple ingredients make good food.

Ingredients:
2 servings of pasta
1 packet of button mushrooms
Cheese of your choice


Sauce:
1 table spoon of lemon zest
2 slices of lemon
lemon juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup of Spring onion (finely chopped)
1 packet of cream
Sugar
Salt
Pepper

How to cook it?
1)
Cook the pasta in a pot of hot water that has around a table spoon of olive oil in it. Cook it for around 15 minutes, or based on your own preferences.
2)
Preparing of the sauce:
Put 2 tablespoons of oil in your pot, add in the lemon zest and spring onions, stir fried them for around 2 minutes. Put in the chopped mushrooms, and cook it for 5 minutes. Season it with some salt and pepper. After that, add in the packet of cream, 1/4 cup of water and 2 lemon slices, and let it simmer slowly in the pot for 8 minutes. Lastly add in the lemon juice and a dash of sugar to balance the sourness in the sauce.
3)
Add the pasta into the sauce. Serve it with some spring onions and some cheese on top of it, and some deep fried onion rings as your side dish.

There you go, a perfect dinner for the night (:
