Preparation

Step 1

boil spaghetti until nice and soft. whilst boiling away fry the mushrooms in the teaspoon of oil then place on some kitchen roll to drain out the excess oil.

Step 2

drain pasta thoroughly and place back in the pan. add the rest of the ingredienst (except the parmesian cheeses to the pan and place on the hob thats cooling down it will still heat the mix up perfectly.

Step 3

once cream cheese has melted to a sauce like mixture covering all the ingredients. serve and sprinkle on parmersian enjoy.

if you dont like mushrooms or ham you can use chicken and sweetcorn anything is good really. grilled peppers and onions are just as nice. serve with some garlic bread too
