Vejledning

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F

Slice mushrooms and onion and place into an oven dish

Add garlic cloves whole in their skin along with the fresh thyme leaves

Drizzle over the olive oil and give a quick mix and massage with your hands so everything is nicely coated

Add the block of feta in the middle of the dish and place all the mushroom mixture around it evenly

Season the feta with oregano and a drizzle of olive oil

Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until mushrooms are nicely golden and feta has softened

When mushrooms have 10 minutes left on the cooking time, start to cook the pasta in heavily salted water. As always, don’t forget to save some pasta water on the side

Remove oven dish and gently peel garlic cloves from their skin. Using a fork, mash the garlic cloves in the same oven tray

Give it all a mix together breaking up the feta cheese with a spoon

First add the spinach then top with the cooked pasta with a good splash of pasta water. Mix together quickly to create a beautiful creamy sauce. If it’s too thick, add more pasta water

Add pine nuts right before serving so they keep their crunch and serve your creamy sauce Baked Feta Mushroom Pasta :). If you find it too salty add a good squeeze of lemon to balance it out
