    FOR THE PASTA

    450g semola flour

    225g warm water

    FOR THE SAUCE

    4 tbsp olive oil, divided

    40g butter, cubed

    1 onion, diced

    4 garlic cloves, minced

    2 tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped

    4 sprigs thyme, leaves picked

    500g mushrooms, cut into quarters, I used swiss brown

    ¾ cup white wine

    1 cup cream

    Juice and zest of a small lemon

    50g parmesan, finely grated

    Small bunch of flat leaf parsley, chopped

    Gently sauté the onion in 2 tbsp of oil for 8 – 10 minutes until soft and translucent, you don’t want them to brown so turn the heat down or add more oil if necessary. Add the sage, thyme and garlic and cook for a further couple of minutes. At the same time heat 2 tbsp of oil and the 40g cubed butter in a large heavy bottomed pan, when the butter has melted add the mushrooms and toss to coat in the oil, then mostly leave them alone to allow them to brown, turning once or twice in 10 mins. Add the onions to the mushrooms with a big pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper followed by the wine and let it reduce for a minute. Add the cream and bring to a gentle simmer before adding the lemon juice and zest.
    Meanwhile bring a pan of heavily salted water to the boil and cook the orecchiette for 3 minutes then add straight into the sauce with a ¼ cup of the pasta water. Add the grated parmesan and gently stir until it melts through. Taste for seasoning and then add the chopped parsley and serve.
