Cook "What would you like with your pasta, meatballs?"

Small Person "yes"

"Mushrooms?"

"No"

So what do you do when you have a whole bunch of mushrooms that the little people don't want to eat?

OK try this as a side dish

Into the fying pan goes: olive oil, one chopped onion, four smashed garlic cloves, one chopped chili pepper. Let it cook down a bit then add a pack of cubed panchetta and whats left of a pack of cherry tomatoes fry for a bit longer so the bacon flavours the oil and the tomato skins burst, then add the chopped mushrooms with a small glug of light soy sauce and a pack of chopped basil, reduce the liquor then serve as a side dish.

Very nice it was too with meatballs and past in a tomato sauce.
