It is very late. I have been trying to fix all of the posts that got garbled in the “website nightmare of 2011″. I am almost done, I believe that I have about 10 more to fix. I cannot tell you how relieved I will be when I have fixed every single one. It has been a project that I have been working on for months. It is tedious work, but worth having everything looking the right way again. I am sitting on the couch watching DVRed episodes of Nigella to keep me amused as I delete funny looking little A’s with accents above them on every post ever posted on Baked Bree. Watching Nigella right now has a certain irony, because I got this recipe from her iphone app. This mushroom pasta is a guaranteed 15 minute dinner. From the time to you put the water on to boil until it reaches the table. 15 minutes. The mushrooms are not cooked, but do not be alarmed by that. If I like this pasta dish, anyone will. This pasta is light and a perfect way to end a stressful day. Or a perfectly lovely one as well.
1 container cremini mushrooms (sometimes they are called Baby Bellas)
1/2 cup olive oil
salt and pepper
2 cloves minced garlic
4 sprigs fresh thyme
zest of one lemon
juice from one lemon
1/2 cup fresh parsley
1 pound linguine
Parmesan cheese
Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Thinly slice the cremini mushrooms and add to a large bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic, thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice and parsley (save some parsley for the top). Season with salt and pepper.
Give a good toss and set aside.
Add the cooked pasta.
Toss all of the ingredients together and serve immediately.
Sprinkle some more parsley on the top of the pasta.
And some Parmesan cheese. Dinner is served in 15 minutes.

I am Bree. I love to cook. Even more than I love to take pictures.
This the perfect meal for meatless Mondays at our house. Thanks!

glad to help Rebecca.
What a great mushroom linguine! I love how the mushrooms are not cooked, so they add a nice bite.
I hope you get your “website nightmare” all sorted out soon!

thanks Brittany! I didn’t think that I even liked raw mushrooms, turns out that I do.
Just had to tell you have been here a long time. Love, love your recipes. You are the #1 site I go to everyday. Haven’t posted before but when you mentioned Nigella again today, I had to say something. I have never seen anyone love Nigella as much as me untill I found your site. I reread her cookbooks over and over. I love what she has to say about her recipes maybe more than the recipes themselves. Some time I laugh out loud at her sarcastic humor. Just wanted to share that!
thank you Terri, I love Nigella so much. Her cookbooks read like novels and I will read them in bed at night.
I love simple pasta dishes that can be made under 30 minutes. I saved your sweet corn pasta as well! Can’t wait to give these a try on a weeknight.

me too, the corn one is one of my kids favorites.
Looks awesome! I am loving mushrooms right now and on a total mushroom eating kick. My friend went with me to Sam’s Club yesterday and she was like “whoa, that’s a lot of mushrooms”…Yes, yes it is, and they are delicious. Looking forward to making this. Thank’s Bree. I too hope you get your website fiasco worked out.

hope you like this Ronda, it is so fast to make too.
How doesn’t love a 15 minute dinner?! What size of container of mushrooms are you using? I shop at Costco, so my sizes may be different than yours.
Paula @ Dishing the Divine recently posted..churro cupcakes
I think about 2 cups.
i made something very similar to this tonight! Except I sautéed shallots & garlic in olive oil & butter and then cooked sliced shiitakes and baby bellas down. I then tossed the mushroom mixture with cooked fresh pappardelle, fresh chopped parsley, a couple tablespoons of creme fraiche, juice of a lemon, & parmesan cheese. It was so delicious and my family ate it all up!! I love mushrooms! Your idea is great as well…I like the idea of a quick almost no-cook dinner!
Mary (Sisters Running the Kitchen) recently posted..corn and crab soup with crispy tortilla strips
yours sounds delicious. Need to write that one down.
YUM! I think I may make just the mushroom part as an appetizer. Sounds delish.
Deena@StayatHomeFOODIE recently posted..Rainy Day Dinner
that would be great on some toasted bread.
Hi, is it safe to eat mushroom this way, without cook?!
Please advise.
NKOTB recently posted..Hot Bowl Nyonya Delights
Yes, it is safe to eat raw mushrooms. I wouldn’t post it if you couldn’t.
Thanks Bree…
NKOTB recently posted..Hot Bowl Nyonya Delights
no problem.
When I saw the title, I immediately started thinking of Nigella’s recipe, so funny! I love this one, it’s so fast and always delicious.

Thank Jen!
How many servings would you say this is?
4 adults?
Hii Bree ! I just discovered your website yesterday and I was already challenged when I returned home from a day of studying at the library. My father-in-law wanted me to use up the mushrooms in the fridge and I had just looked at this recipe in the morning. It turned out great !! I loveee the lemon juice in the linguine, it made it taste so different.
Thank you !
I love this pasta. It is so easy.
I love the photos with your recipes!! I can’t wait to try this ’cause I love mushrooms and one of my favorite dishes is linguine with white clam sauce. This looks like a great alternative to clams. Keep ‘em coming!!
Thank you Heather!
