Ingredients
- 40g chopped walnuts
- 1 x 250g pack chestnut mushrooms
- 25g butter
- 150g tagliatelle
- 2 echalion shallots (or a small onion), finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 5 thyme sprigs, leaves only
- 125ml white wine or vegetable stock
- 5 tbsp half-fat crème fraîche
- 75g Saint Agur blue crème or other vegetarian blue cheese
Step by step
- Heat a large frying pan, add the chopped walnuts and toast them over a medium heat for 2 minutes; remove to a plate.
- Slice the chestnut mushrooms and bring a large pan of salted water to the boil.
- Return the frying pan to the heat; melt half the butter. Add the mushrooms and fry over a high heat, stirring occasionally until golden; remove to a plate.
-
Tip If you prefer a milder blue cheese, use Dolcelatte or Cambozola in place of the Saint Agur.
- Add the pasta to the pan of boiling water and cook for 7-8 minutes or until al dente.
- Meanwhile, return the frying pan to the heat, add the remaining butter, shallots, garlic and two-thirds of the thyme, cook gently for 5 minutes, then return the mushrooms to the pan. Increase the heat, pour in the wine or stock and season well. Bubble for 2 minutes until reduced, then stir in the crème fraîche and half the cheese.
- Drain the pasta, reserving a couple of tablespoons of the cooking water, and return to the pan, add the mushrooms, sauce and reserved cooking water; toss to coat. Season.
- Divide between 2 bowls, then crumble over the remaining cheese and sprinkle with the walnuts and remaining thyme.
