This vegetarian tagliatelle pasta with courgettes, shiitake mushrooms and tarragon butter make a perfect mid-week dinner or fuss-free week-end lunch.

Shiitake mushrooms have a rich flavour which goes well with courgettes. They are also rich in iron and high in protein.

Here I have added tarragon, thyme, lemon and parsley to the butter. The flavours are subtle yet tasty enough to transport you to a warmer climate. You can add vegetarian parmesan style cheese on top but personally, I prefer them just “as is”. Of course, this dish can easily be made vegan by replacing the butter with olive oil and choosing egg-free pasta.
