Pasta, mushrooms and creamy tomato sauce

This was a bit of a store cupboard recipe, chucked together because I haven't been to the supermarket for ages. Tasted really nice though, we all had it for lunch.

The quantities here are roughly what Hannah had (I'm an "about" kind of cook, which some people find very frustrating, sorry!).

Pasta shapes (we like spirals)
3 or 4 mushrooms, sliced
Cream cheese (eg Philly)
Tomato puree
Knob of butter and a bit of oil

Put the pasta on to cook
Meanwhile fry the mushrooms in a mixture of oil and butter
Mix together about a tablespoon of cream cheese with a teaspoon of tomato puree, and add to the pan with mushrooms in
Take the mushrooms off the heat, mix the cream cheese and tomato puree with the mushrooms
Drain the pasta, and add it to the mushrooms etc, mix thoroughly and serve.
