1 May - Portobello mushrooms & simple pasta

Lunch today was a variation on a Jamie Oliver recipe for Portobello mushrooms. I mushed up a clove of garlic, some thyme leaves and a bit of chopped red chilli together with some olive oil and lemon juice. Then brushed this all over a couple of big Portobello mushrooms, dotted a tiny bit of butter on the top and put them in a hot oven (2ooC) for about 10 minutes. I then added a couple of thick slices of goat's cheese on top and popped them back in for another 5 minutes to melt the cheese. The result, as always, was absolutely delicious with a handful of new potatoes to soak up the juices - a real favourite!

Dinner was a simple bowl of pasta - linguine with shallots, pancetta, asparagus, a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkling of parmesan - I think my first 'repeat' dish so far.
