Ingredients
500 grams Cremini Mushrooms, fresh, sliced 6 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 tbsp Salt 1 clove Garlic 2 lemon yields Lemon Juice 2 tbsp Lemon Peel 8 tsp Thyme, fresh 8 oz Barilla Linguine 8 tbsp Parmesan Cheese, shredded .5 cup Parsley
A couple of hours before you plan to make the pasta, stir together the olive oil, salt, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest and thyme in a very large bowl until salt has pretty much dissolved. Add the mushrooms and toss well to coat.
Stir the mushrooms in the accumulating juices once or twice an hour to bring out more liquid from the mushrooms and create a lovely light but abundant "sauce".
About half an hour before you're ready to serve, bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil. Add your linguine and cook to al dente.
Meanwhile, shred your Parmesan Cheese and chop the parsley.
When pasta is cooked, remove half a cup of pasta water and set aside.
Barely drain the pasta and transfer while still very wet to the bowl containing the mushrooms and liquid (or transfer from the pasta water to the bowl with a pasta fork). Toss gently to combine, adding some of the retained pasta water to assist the "sauce". (I usually end up using about 1/4 cup of the pasta water).
Scatter Parmesan and chopped parsley in and toss to combine.
Enjoy.
