Linguine with Lemon Thyme and MushroomsLinguine with Lemon Mushrooms and Herbs
I’m going to go ahead and tell you straight away that I am OBSESSED with this pasta dish. It’s pretty much brilliance on a plate. I wish I could take credit for it but it’s not mine, it’s from the ridiculously gorgeous and talented Nigella Lawson. When I saw this particular recipe floating around online I was intrigued immediately. There was no book marking it for later, I made it RIGHT THEN.

It’s super simple to prepare and the flavor factor is off the charts. Even the most novice of cooks could make this so is there absolutely no excuses for anyone regardless of their cooking level not to try this. Well unless you’re allergic to a particular ingredient in here and then well it’s okay to take a pass.

Linguine with Lemon Mushrooms and Herbs

The only thing I did differently from her original recipe was use plain jane button mushrooms. I would have used baby portobellos but I didn’t have them in the fridge at the time and the thought of going to the grocery store wasn’t happening I HAD TO make it right then.

I told you above I was obsessed. I’ve made the Linguine with Lemon Thyme and Mushrooms since then using portobellos and I honestly liked it both ways. I am, however, a mushroom fiend.

Linguine with Lemon Mushrooms and Herbs
The hardest and most time consuming part (if you can call it that) about this recipe is thinly slicing the mushrooms. The pre-packaged sliced mushrooms available in stores aren’t thin enough (yes I use shortcuts some times but not this time), you’ll need to slice them by hand or carefully use a mandolin. Once you have the mushrooms sliced and add the additional “sauce” ingredients you’ll set them aside and cook the pasta.

Then toss all the things together. It’s really that easy peasy. This will probably be happening in my house at least once a week until oh forever because I can’t imagine that I’ll grow tired of it.

xo!

    Oh this is right up my alley. I have a mandolin so slicing thin won’t be a problem.And lemon and thyme were basically made to go together!

    I absolutely love simple pasta dishes like this! Besides being easy to make, since there are so few ingredients, each one really shines. You know I have to go make this now, right?

    I’m not sure which ingredient I love more – the lemon, the thyme or the mushrooms (or the pasta for that matter…) Perfection!

    Lemons and thyme are one of my favorite flavor combinations. Add in the pasta and mushrooms and I’m one happy girl!
