Linguine with Lemon, Garlic and Thyme Mushrooms

Serves - 4- 6 people

Ingredients

• 4 cups finely mushrooms (any type you desire. - I often do a mixture)
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons table salt
• Small clove garlic, minced
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme stripped to give 1 teaspoon leaves
• 500g linguine
• 1 bunch fresh parsley, leaves chopped, to give 1/2 cup
• 2 to 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan, or to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Slice the mushrooms finely, and put them into a large bowl with the oil, salt, minced garlic, lemon juice and zest, and thyme leaves.

Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions and drain loosely retaining some water. Quickly put the pasta into the bowl with the mushroom mixture.

Toss everything together well, and then add the parsley, cheese and pepper before tossing again.

Hint: You can use any type of unfilled pasta you desire for this.
