![]() I’m also partial to Cal Tjader’s 1960 jazz stylings on West Side Story, that feline, rabble-rousing refrain in the Prologue/Jet Song lends itself wonderfully to noodly jazz interpretation. Something’s Coming by Oscar Peterson, from his 1962 jazz reworking of the West Side Story score, somehow bringing languidness and fleet-footed urgency to an already urgent song. Also, I’ve included the parsley in the ingredients even though I forgot to buy it for myself. Serves four, though in making this for myself I only scale down the pasta, leave the marinade quantities as is, and maybe knock 100g off the mushrooms. If serving this in a way where visuals are a priority, save some almonds and parsley for scattering over each plate of pasta. While the pasta is cooking, toast the almonds in a dry pan till just golden and fragrant, then set aside.ģ: Drain the pasta, stir into the mushrooms (or stir the mushrooms into it, whichever is more practical) along with the parsley and almonds. Crush or very finely chop the garlic clove and add it to the mushrooms.Ģ: Bring a large pan of water to the boil, salt abundantly, and cook the pasta in it till tender, which should take ten to twelve minutes. ![]() 500g spaghetti, linguine, or other long pastaġ: Wipe the mushrooms if they need it, thinly slice them, and place them in a bowl with the 80ml olive oil, the zest and juice of the lemon, the salt, and the thyme leaves.2 teaspoons sea salt, or one teaspoon table salt (plus more for the pasta water).250g button mushrooms (or chestnut mushrooms, if you can find them).Recipe from Nigella Lawson’s book Nigella Express. My only change is replacing the parmesan with toasted nuts, but you do what you like. One of my favourite Nigella recipes, it’s simple and stunning and you may just want a bowl of the mushrooms on their own, they’re that good. Pasta with Lemon, Thyme and Garlic Mushrooms I did my best for these photos with the toasted almonds and as many thyme leaves as I could rip from each stem, but fortunately - and importantly - it’s delicious either way, and once you taste the marinated mushrooms all thoughts of how it all looks will disappear from your head. Just don’t forget the parsley, as I did, if you’re serving this to people - not to be overly wedded to aesthetics but when it comes down to it, wet raw button mushrooms are kind of ugly, and benefit from a distracting flounce of green. Button mushrooms aren’t the coolest of the funghi brotherhood but this lemon-and-oil process turns them elegant, chic, something you’ll long for again and again, in fact. In fact the mushrooms taste so amazing that when I make this for myself I barely scale them down to dress 100g of pasta, and nor should you. ♬ Our Day Will Come – Remastered – Nancy Wilson recipe at hungryandfrozen dot com #pasta #mushrooms #food #vegan #nigella #foodblogger.While the pasta cooks, the mushrooms absorb every good thing from those ingredients, their texture relaxing from squeaky to silky and ready to go - as per the ‘express’ of the cookbook title - before you can say al dente, the culinary equivalent of one of those astonishing Broadway quick-changes where a character is whisked out of one costume and into another in a matter of moments, appearing cool and unruffled to perform their next with lemon, garlic and thyme mushrooms from Nigella Express You thinly slice the mushrooms, then steep them in olive oil, lemon, garlic, thyme and plenty of salt. The success of this recipe hinges on how you feel about raw mushrooms (assuming that’s a stance you can immediately call to mind a lengthy opinion on) but these aren’t merely raw, in case you’re already backing away slowly. This pasta with lemon, garlic and thyme mushrooms was the first recipe I made from Nigella Express back in January 2008 and I don’t know (or at least, can’t remember) what portent it held but I loved it then and I’ve been enthusiastic about it ever since, and what better fortune can you hope for than having a good pasta recipe in your life? Despite all this zeal I’ve never properly blogged about this pasta, outside of mentioning it briefly back in ’08, so here we finally are, slightly adapted for my current-day dairy-avoiding vibes. The first recipe you make from a new cookbook comes heavy with a certain ceremonial reverence something about it suggests divining your own fortune, the shape of things to come, starting as you mean to go on, et cetera, or at least, that’s the needlessly strenuous way I approach things.
