Steps

  1. Prep porcini Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Bring a half-full kettle to the boil. Add the porcini mushrooms, boiling water and balsamic vinegar to a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes, until mushrooms have softened. Peel courgette into ribbons.
  2. Cook spaghetti Cook spaghetti in pot of boiling water for 8 minutes. Add courgette and cook a further 1 minute, until spaghetti is just tender. Reserve ½ cup pasta water. Drain and set aside with a drizzle of olive oil.
  3. Cook mushrooms Melt a knob of butter in a fry-pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add button mushrooms and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, until browned. Add the porcini balsamic mixture and cook a further 2 minutes, until reduced. Remove pan from heat.
  4. Finish spaghetti Add spaghetti and courgette along with sour cream to pan with mushrooms and stir to combine. Season to taste. Add a little pasta water until sauce has reached your desired consistency.
  5. Make salad Thinly slice pear, remove tough stems from rocket and toss both in a bowl with Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. Season to taste.
  6. Serve spaghetti topped with oregano and hazelnuts with salad on the side.
