This pasta is a perfect warming dinner. the mushrooms, onions and garlic go so well with the creamy yogurt and lemon sauce, and the spinach, basil and sage add a real freshness to the whole dish. you can add more cloves if you like it super garlicy, and throw in any extra veg too like peas or spinach for some extra greens.
