Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Thinly slice the button mushrooms. Drain the tinned cherry tomatoes. Place the tomatoes and balsamic vinegar on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Toss to combine, then roast until the tomatoes are caramelised, 15-20 minutes.
While the tomatoes are roasting, cook the spaghetti in the boiling water until 'al dente', 10 minutes. Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), then drain the spaghetti and return to the pan. Drizzle with olive oil to prevent the spaghetti from sticking together. TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
While the pasta is cooking, finely chop the garlic. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients) and 1/3 of the garlic, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and just toasted, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the sliced mushrooms until browned, 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic & herb seasoning and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the longlife cream (see ingredients), some reserved pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people), the vegetable stock powder and 1/2 the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine, then simmer until reduced slightly, 2-3 minutes.
While the mushrooms are cooking, pick and thinly slice the basil leaves. Remove the stem from the silverbeet and roughly chop. When the sauce is done, add the cooked spaghetti and an extra splash of reserved pasta water, then toss to coat. Add the roasted tomatoes, basil and silverbeet and stir through until just wilted, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste. TIP: Seasoning is key in this dish, so taste and add some more salt or pepper if you like!
Divide the creamy mushroom and cherry tomato spaghetti between bowls. Top with the garlic pangrattato and remaining Parmesan cheese.
