Nigella Recipe Challenge: Lemon and Thyme Pasta (4)

When the weather gets colder I love eating pasta. So, what better way to embrace the end of a very hot summer and the colder evenings than with a delicious lemon and thyme pasta?

I tried Nigella's Linguine with Lemon, Garlic and Thyme Mushrooms recipe. Once again her recipe didn't fail to impress.

Lemon, Garlic and Thyme Mushroom Pasta

The recipe represents both summer and autumn. Summer thanks to the citrusy lightness of the lemon and a hint of autumn because of the earthy thyme oozing through the mushrooms. The two elements complement each other perfectly and the garlic just add an extra dimension to the dish. It is really a delicious pasta and white button mushrooms can be used if you cannot find chestnut mushrooms (I couldn't and the white button mushrooms were delicious). Just a little bit of cheese is enough for this dish as not to over power the taste of the other ingredients.

The dish is very easy to make and if I cook it again (which I will) during winter time, I will have a nice remembrance of summer with every mouthful.
