Heat the oil in a large saute pan, add the shallots and cook over a low to medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the shallots are soft.
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and add the pasta, cook until the pasta is almost cooked.
Add the butter to the pan then add half the mushrooms. Cook over medium heat until the mushrooms release their juices. As soon as those mushrooms are cooked move them to one side of the pan then add the remaining mushrooms. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for another minute or two. Season with salt and pepper.

Nutritional Information - Is approximate and is calculated using an online nutrition tool. It does not include extra cheese for serving.
Weight and Measurements - Cup sizes are also approximate, I weigh all my ingredients using a metric scale.
Pasta - I use linguine for this recipe. I have tested this recipe with tagliatelle, pappardelle and penne and all work well too. Linguine worked the best though.
Cream - Double cream will give you the best results for this dish.
Cheese - Make sure you use a good vegetarian hard Italian cheese, it must melt well for the sauce to work.
Mushrooms - I use chestnut mushrooms to make this as they have more flavour than button mushrooms. I have made this with a mixture of wild and chestnut mushrooms which worked well too. Depending on the wild mushrooms you choose they may take longer to cook.
Can I freeze this dish? I don't recommend freezing this dish.
Can I make this gluten-free? Yes, just swap the pasta for your favourite gluten-free pasta.
How can I make this vegan? Please note that I have not tested this recipe to be vegan. However, if you swap the cream for a dairy free cream and use a vegan hard cheese you should get similar results. You will also need to swap the butter for a vegan butter.

This was amazing, and my son said it was hands down the best pasta he'd ever had. I added bacon and upped the amount of spinach, but, otherwise, I kept to the recipe. It was easy and delicious. This will be a regular in our household.
Really really good!! I added Perino tomatoes because I am a tomato lover.
Thank you Michelle for this delicious recepie we all loved it :) Im sure that I will be making it often ! especially love the photography stages too ! Happy 2022
I made this and I loved it! Didn't have pine nuts so had to leave that out and subbed thyme for sage and it works so well too :)
