A Closely Guarded Mushroom, Thyme and Ricotta Linguine

Have you ever discovered a restaurant so good you didn’t want to tell anyone about it for fear it would be overrun? That’s exactly the way Patrick felt about a certain trattoria in Rome when he was filming there. They have a house speciality called Tonnarelli alla Ciociara which, in his words, “would make a grown man weep with pleasure”. This recreation did get our stomachs rumbling, and the name of the restaurant? You’ll have to twist his arm to find out!

Instructions

1

Put a large pot of water on to boil with ¼ tsp of salt ready for the pasta.

slice your mushrooms
2

Roughly slice the mushrooms. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Pull your thyme leaves off their stalks.

3

Cook the pasta in the boiling water for 8 mins or until ‘al dente’. Towards the end you’ll add in the peas but we’ll remind you later. Tip: ‘Al dente’ simply means that the pasta is cooked through but has a slight bit of firmness left in the middle.

Toast the pine nuts
4

Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan over a medium heat until they turn golden, then remove and keep to the side. Watch your nuts like an insomniac counting sheep - the moment your head is turned they’ll burn!

Cook mushroom mixture
5

Heat 1½ tbsp of olive oil in the frying pan until hot. Add the mushrooms, garlic, thyme and fry for 3-4 mins over a medium-high heat.

6

Remove half a cup of the pasta water from the pot and keep to the side. Add the peas to the pasta for the last 3 mins of cooking, then drain.

Add your water and ricotta to the mushrooms
7

Add ¼ tsp of salt to the mushrooms followed by your ricotta. Add a few tbsp of pasta water until you have a nice double cream consistency. Add a few grates of lemon zest, 1 tsp of lemon juice and toss in the pasta and peas. Add half the grated Italian cheese and toss everything together.

8

Serve with a scattering of the remaining cheese, the pine nuts, a few grinds of pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
