Method
1.Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water according to packet directions. Drain and return to pan.
2.Meanwhile, heat butter and oil in a medium frying pan on high. Cook mushrooms and garlic for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in stock. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
3.Remove lid and increase heat to medium. Add cream and thyme and simmer for 5 minutes, until liquid reduces slightly. Stir through spinach. Add mushroom mixture to pasta and toss to combine. Season and serve with parmesan.
In Italian, orecchiette actually means “little ears”. For a traditional Italian result, use button and swiss brown mushrooms. Or try a mix of enoki, shiitake and oyster mushrooms for a change.
