Adapted from Nigella's

Ingredients

225 grams mushrooms
80 ml extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Maldon salt (or 1½ tsps table salt)
1 small clove garlic (crushed)
zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 tsps dried thyme
500 grams pasta
1 bunch fresh parsley (chopped)
2 - 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
freshly ground black pepper
 

DIRECTIONS

Mix in a large pan the oil, salt, crushed garlic, lemon juice and zest, and marvelously scented thyme.

While that simmers, Slice the mushrooms finely, then add the mushrooms to the pan.

Cook the pasta according to packet instructions and drain loosely, retaining some water. Remove the pan from the heat and quickly put the drained pasta into the bowl with the mushroom mixture.

Toss everything together well, portion everything out onto plates, then add the chopped parsley, grated cheese and pepper to taste.
