Salt the mushrooms before the oil, so the water comes out first.
Lower the pasta in gently. No need to toss it into the water.
Keep the celery until the end, so it stays bright.
How to store it
Cool completely. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add a little water if it thickens.
How to freeze it
Freeze in portions for up to 1 month. Pasta will be a little softer after thawing. Keep the celery off until serving.
How to reheat it
From fridge: warm gently in a pan with a splash of water. From freezer: thaw in the fridge, then reheat the same way. Finish with fresh celery.
