Ingredients
For the Pasta
1 pack of fusilli pasta
Salt
Vegetable margarine
Water
 

For the Sauce
2 spoons margarine
10 shrimps

Finely diced onion
Sliced or chopped mushrooms
Water
Cornstarch (dissolved in cold water)
Soy sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
For Garnishing

Method
1. Cook the Fusilli

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add salt. Cook the fusilli pasta according to the package instructions until tender but still slightly firm.

Drain the pasta well and set aside.

2. Prepare the Sauce

Heat 2 spoons of margarine in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, then sauté until fragrant and softened.

Add the shrimps and cook until they are nearly done. Stir in the mushrooms and continue cooking until softened.

Add water and a little soy sauce, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

Gradually add the cornstarch dissolved in cold water, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

3. Combine the Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked fusilli to the sauce and toss gently until the pasta is evenly coated.

Allow everything to cook together briefly so the pasta can absorb some of the sauce.

4. Garnish and Serve

Transfer the pasta to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chopped parsley and red chili.

Serve warm and enjoy.
