Wash and soak mushrooms overnight if dry wipe mushrooms if fresh. Cut into large pieces. Melt butter. Saute finely chopped onions without discolouring. Add mushrooms, milk and seasoning. Cover pan and simmer for 10 minutes. Make the flour into a smooth paste with a little milk and tomato sauce. Stir into mushroom mixture. Bring to boil stirring all the time. Boil for one or two minutes. Remove from the fire and stir in the cheese until melted. Meanwhile cook the spaghetti (hold spaghetti in a bundle and lower the ends into boiling salted water, then gradually wind the rest round the inside of the pan as it becomes supple enough to bend). Boil for 10 to 12 minutes until just tender. Drain; return to the pan and toss in melted butter. Turn cooked spaghetti on to a hot dish. Pour the mushrooms sauce over and garnish with half slices of tomatoes and springs of parsley.
