How to exclude pages in Wordpress from PHP recent posts list (mdv_recent_posts)?

I'm trying to make this PHP code work as usual, except I want it to stop displaying the pages that have the IDs "2" and "32" in the outputted list. How would I do it? Searched Google endlessly and can't find an answer

<h1>Recent articles</h1>

<ul class="recent">
<?php mdv_recent_posts(10); ?>
</ul>

Code (markup):

 

looking at the (limited) documentation of that plugin, it doesnt look like its capable of doing it.

Get a different lpugin that is capable of doing it, or do away with it all together and use the get_posts function

http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts

(see "exclude" in the docs)

 

Thanks Luke for that great recommendation.
