Apart from a fridge magnet for Robert, the only thing I brought back from Bologna was ..

** DRUMROLL **

Truffle Spaghetti.

I wish I had bought a new piece of luggage & just packed it with this most wonderful pasta.

On an autumnal evening it's time to match this with some mushrooms & garlic.

For Two

2 tbsp Olive Oil
200g Mushrooms roughly chopped
150g Spaghetti
3 Garlic Cloves sliced

1 tbsp Sherry
Parmigiano Reggiano grated - a generous portion
Fresh Parsley chopped - curly is prettier than the flat variety, I think 

Heat the oil in a pan before adding the garlic & frying gently for 5-6 minutes

Bring a large pan of water to the boil & add the pasta; simmer for 9 minutes 

Back to the frying pan & time to add the mushrooms, stirring regularly, before the Sherry goes in

Next the Parmigiano but leaving some to scatter across the final dish

Drain the spaghetti & leave a little bit of the cooking liquor in case you need some for the mushrooms

Parsley to garnish

This was a fine way to begin the autumn harvest.
