Preheat oven to moderate (180 - 190 degrees C)

Oil a deep three litre (12 cup) ovenproof dish.

Cook pasta in large saucepan of boiling water, uncovered until just tender. Drain.

Heat oil in large frying pan, cook mushrooms, stirring, until tender and browned lightly. If using both robust and delicate mushrooms, cook the more robust for a few minutes before adding the more delicate.
