Rigatoni with Mushrooms

When dinner was served 5 year old Lucy took off and toasted herself a bagel. Guess you can't win 'em all. (As mentioned before Papa was thoroughly ticked off at 7 year old Lily when he prepared this week's shopping list and decided to pick meals as he pleased."What did I do to you?" Mama asked. She doesn't like Mushrooms much either.)

Nonetheless, this thing was easy and yummy for at least one of us. While we cooked up a pot of pasta we chopped up 4 handful of mixed mushrooms, 2 cloves of garlic, a small pile of thyme leaves, and parsley. We also grated a bunch of parmesan.

First we fried up the mushrooms in a chunk of butter for just a few minutes and seasoned them with a little salt and pepper.

Then we added the garlic and herbs for a couple more minutes.

We added about 4 to 6 tablespoons of creme fraiche and the juice of half a lemon.


We served it all with the parmesan. For those that like mushrooms this is one killer dish.
