LINGUINE WITH LEMON, GARLIC AND THYME MUSHROOMS

Linguine with Lemon, Garlic and Thyme Mushrooms image

This is one of my proudest creations, and I suppose a good example of a recipe that isn't traditionally from Italy, but sits uncontroversially in her culinary canon. I don't think it would be too presumptuous to name this linguine ai funghi crudi. It is about as speedy as you can imagine: you do no more to the mushrooms than slice them, steep them in oil, garlic, lemon and thyme and toss them into the hot cooked pasta. I'm afraid, I had to have this forcibly taken away from me during the photographic shoot of this book, otherwise I'd have eaten it all up before it had even had its picture taken. The dressed mushrooms also make a great salad, but in which case boost the quantities of sliced mushrooms (keeping other ingredients the same, and obviously you're omitting the pasta altogether) to 375g/6 cups. If all you can find is regular button mushrooms, this pasta is still worth making - so no excuse for not.

LEMON PASTA WITH LEMON THYME

Lemon Pasta With Lemon Thyme image

This is a slightly different take on most lemon pastas because it also uses one of my favorite herbs, lemon thyme in addition to the lemon. It is superb served with a few grilled shrimp as well. As a no cook sauce its fast as well, but do let it marinate for the 2 hours. If you don't have lemon thyme you can sub basil or parsley

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 lb long pasta-either dried spaghetti or 1 lb fresh fettuccine
1/4 cup fresh lemon thyme (Or Fresh Parsley or Basil)
1 medium garlic clove, Minced
1/4 cup olive oil
zest & juice of two lemon
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
salt & pepper
cracked black pepper
3 -4 grilled shrimp, Per Person (optional)

Steps:

Mix together the oil, garlic, thyme, lemon zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper. Add the toasted pine nuts, stir well, and allow to sit for a couple of hours for the flavors to meld. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until it is al dente. Just before draining, remove a small cup of pasta water.
Drain the pasta, and return it to the pot with the lemon sauce over high heat. Add a little pasta water to prevent it from drying out. As soon as it is piping hot, remove from the heat and serve. Scoop the pine nuts off the bottom of the pot to top the pasta, and serve topped with grilled shrimp if using. Offer additional cracked black pepper if desired.

To make the pasta more creamy, add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil to the sauce.
