So here we are with another Meat free Monday recipe- Garlic Mushroom Linguine. If you're looking for vegetarian recipe inspiration, pasta is always a good place to start. Creamy, garlicky pasta is an even better place to start!

 I'm quite a fan of mushrooms. They are so quick and easy to cook and there are so many tasty types to try- Button, Chestnut, Porcini, Shitake, Oyster, Portabello, even woodland varieties. The best thing about mushrooms for me though is how perfectly they are complemented by garlic. They just belong together! 

 This recipe for Garlic Mushroom Linguine ticks so many boxes for me. It's quick and there's very little prep and absolutely no fancy cooking skills, so it's super easy as well. I prefer to make it with a few different varieties of mushroom for more flavour and texture, but if you've only got a few standard white mushrooms knocking around your fridge, you can still make a delicious meal. I used button, chestnut and woodland mushrooms this time. Combined with the onion, garlic (lots of garlic), thyme, veg stock and cream cheese, you get a delicious sauce to coat your linguine. If you're just not in the mood for pasta, you could make the exact same sauce and pour it over chicken breasts and serve with potatoes or rice. Also delicious!

 This recipe is syn-free on Slimming World if you use reduced fat soft cheese and spray oil.
