Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cloves of garlic
a few sprigs of fresh thyme
300 g wild mushrooms
300 g leftover cooked higher-welfare ham or turkey
500 g short pasta
olive oil
3 tablespoons crème fraîche
200 g baby spinach
Parmesan cheese
1 lemon

Steps:

  • 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.

JAMIE OLIVER'S BEST PASTA SALAD

One of my favorite Naked Chef recipes. I make this often. I just love the trip of boiling up the garlic cloves with the pasta, and then just squeezing them out of their skins and adding them mashed to the dressing.
