Winter pasta salad
30 mins
Not Too Tricky
serves 6 to 8
Recipe From
Ingredients
2 cloves of garlic
a few sprigs of fresh thyme
300g wild mushrooms
300g leftover cooked higher-welfare ham or turkey
500g short pasta
olive oil
3 tablespoons crème fraîche
200g baby spinach
Parmesan cheese
1 lemon
Method
- Peel and finely slice the garlic, pick the thyme leaves, and clean and tear up the mushrooms. Shred up the leftover ham or turkey.
- Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet.
- Heat a little oil in a large pan, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until golden. Add the thyme, mushrooms, sea salt and black pepper and fry for 5 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in the ham or turkey, and continue to cook for 5 minutes, so everything gets some colour. Stir in the crème fraîche and remove the pan from the heat. Drain the pasta once cooked – saving a mugful of the cooking water – and let it cool slightly. Toss the pasta with a little oil, then stir into the sauce. Add a little cooking water to loosen, if needed.
- Stir in the spinach, add a good grating of Parmesan, squeeze in the lemon juice, then season to taste before serving.
