One Pot Mushroom, Sausage and Tomato Fusilli

I love mushrooms, any variety, and I’m determined to pass my affinity on to my children. So far one loves them and the other despises them. Luckily this pasta dish is so delicious my youngest hardly noticed and grumbled only a few times while he fished out the oyster, crimini and button mushrooms that iny my opinion make the whole dish. I roast my mushrooms in advance and store them in a container to use all week. This dinner literally came together in 15 minutes, which is just about my children’s threshold when we arrive home from practice.
