 1 tbsp olive oil
 Salt and pepper
 200 ml pure cream
 ½ cup vegetable or chicken stock

 200 g pasta
Method:
1

Preheat the oven to 180℃ and line a baking tray with baking paper.

2

Place the mushrooms, garlic, thyme and butter on the prepared tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes.

3

Remove the mushrooms from the oven. Discard the thyme.

4

Transfer half of the cooked mushrooms to a food processor. Add cream and blitz until smooth.

5

Transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Add stock, season with salt and pepper and allow to simmer on low heat until the sauce reduces and thickens. Add the crumbled blue cheese then stir to combine. The cheese will melt into the sauce.

In the meantime, cook the pasta according to the package instructions.

Once the pasta is cooked, strain and transfer to the saucepan with the creamy mushroom sauce. Gently stir to coat.

Transfer the pasta to serving bowls. Top with extra sauce, the remaining mushrooms and additional blue cheese and thyme leaves if desired.
