Cooking Steps
• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Thinly slice cucumber and mushrooms. Finely chop leek and garlic. Pick and roughly chop rosemary leaves (see ingredients).
• Cook spaghetti in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 10 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people), then drain and return spaghetti to the saucepan. Drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with the butter and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken, mushrooms, leek and rosemary, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add cream (see ingredients), vegetable stock powder and reserved pasta water to the mushrooms. Stir to combine and simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat, then add cooked spaghetti and grated Parmesan cheese. Gently toss to combine, then season with salt and pepper to taste. • In a medium bowl, combine rocket leaves, cucumber and a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season to taste.
TIP: Seasoning is key in this pasta, so add more salt depending on taste.
• Divide creamy chicken, mushroom and rosemary fettuccine between bowls. • Serve with cucumber salad. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: Reviewers were divided — some found the creamy mushroom and rosemary sauce delicious and comforting, while others felt the rosemary was too strong and the overall flavour too rich or bland. Adding chilli, cracked pepper, and salt helped lift the dish for those who found it lacking.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together, with most reviewers finding it ready in good time on a weeknight.
- Suggestions: Add bacon to the sauce for extra depth; some reviewers also stirred extra mushrooms through or added tomatoes and other vegetables to the salad to make it more substantial. Use all the cream for a richer sauce, especially if you plan to have leftovers.
- Next-day meals: One reviewer noted the pasta was a little dry when reheated the next day and suggested using all the cream from the start to keep it saucier.
