Ingredients

  • 7 oz (200 g) angel hair pasta
  • 10 oz (300 g) mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 shallots (or 1/2 a red onion), finely diced
  • 2 tsp provencal herbs
  • 3-4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon, all of the juice and 1/2 of the zest
  • ¾ cup (100 g) crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup (50 g) pecorino or other Italian hard cheese, grated
  • 1 small bunch chives, chopped

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the mushrooms, garlic, shallots and provencal herbs. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with enough olive oil to coat all of the mushrooms lightly.
    10 oz mushrooms, 4 cloves garlic, 2 shallots (or 1/2 a red onion), 2 tsp provencal herbs, 3-4 tbsp olive oil
  • Scatter in a baking dish and place in the oven for 25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are well roasted. They will be reduced in size and browned.
  • When they're ready to come out of the oven, set the angel hair pasta to cook. It only takes a few minutes so while it's boiling, finish preparing the mushrooms.

  • Immediately after taking the mushrooms out of the oven, add the lemon zest and juice, and mix to combine.
    1 lemon
  • Add both cheeses to the pan and stir until just combined with the mushrooms.
    3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/2 cup pecorino or other Italian hard cheese
  • Once the pasta is cooked, reserve a little bit of the cooking water and then drain and add to the pan with the mushrooms. Use tongs or a spaghetti fork to mix it all together until just combined. Assess the texture - you can add some pasta cooking water back in, or some additional olive oil, for moisture. Once you're happy, add the chives and give it one final toss.
    1 small bunch chives
  • Serve immediately.
