Is it possible to call the same function that was mocked without infinite recursion?

Let's say I want to log what values are passed to Write-Host during test execution.

It seems that I can't just do something like this:

$global:writeHostStrings = [System.Collections.Generic.List[object]]::new()
Mock Write-Host {

    # Log or track some of the parameters Write-Host was called with
    $global:writeHostStrings += $Object
    
    # Then actually execute the original function 
    Write-Host @PesterBoundParameters
}

Is there a straightforward way to do this in Pester? I've found that this just continues to call the mocked functions alias and repeats infinitely.

Yes, you would do:

$write_Host = Get-Command Write-Host -CommandType Cmdlet
& $write_Host @PesterBoundParameters

Thank you!
