Spaghetti With A Simple Mushroom Sauce

My mum had me scared about cooking with fresh mushrooms. She says there could be a poisonous one in fresh mushrooms, maybe she was scared off while studying abroad. So I have stayed clear away from fresh mushrooms unless someone cooks it for me and feeds me. After seeing so many lovely mushroom recipes in so many blogs I decided to go ahead and buy some. Tesco has such lovely mushrooms, so I purchased some baby swiss brown mushrooms.
 Since this was my first time cooking with fresh mushrooms, I wanted to make something simple,  so I could actually taste the mushroom. So made this really simple pasta dish using what I had at home.

For 2 :
6 swiss brown mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 red chilli, chopped
1 small onion or shallot  finely chopped
water or stock( about  1/3 cup )
a knob of butter
Juice of about 1/2 a lemon and a tsp  of grated zest
a big handful of finely chopped parsley
Spagetti 
A big handful of grated parmesan

1. Bring a large pot of water to boil, generously salted, add your spaghetti about 150 g ,  and cook till al dente'. Drain.

2.  While you spaghetti is cooking , heat butter add your mushrooms and stir fry. Stir in garlic, onion , chilli and zest and give a good stir,
Add water, use very little water, the half cup is approximate :), let it reduce.  Taste, add salt squeeze your lemon juice ( do not squeeze the life out of your lemon, just a couple of good squeezes )and stir in your parsley. Switch off.

3. Toss your pasta into the mushroom sauce.  Finally, add the parmesan and stir well. Serve

I have to say it tasted pretty good  :), I didn't have any cream but the parmesan gave it a nice creamy texture.
