1 coating of olive oil spray

500 g cup mushrooms, sliced

2 cloves garlic, crushed

Preheat oven to 180ºC. Cook penne in a large saucepan of boiling water, or in the microwave, until al dente.

Meanwhile, spray a large frying pan with olive oil spray and set on high heat. Add mushrooms and garlic and cook, stirring often, for 4 to 5 minutes or until mushrooms are golden. Set aside.

Drain pasta and return to the saucepan or bowl. Add mushrooms, pasta sauce, bocconcini and parsley. Stir well to combine. Season with pepper.

Spoon penne mixture into a 10-cup capacity deep baking dish. Combine the breadcrumbs and parmesan. Sprinkle over the penne mixture. Spray lightly with olive oil spray. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until hot and breadcrumbs are golden.
