Step 1

Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water according to the packet instructions, until al dente.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, add the shallots and fry for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the mushrooms and butter and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the smoked paprika, mustard and tamari. Pour in the stock and cook for a few minutes, then turn the heat down as low as possible.

Step 4

Mix the crème fraîche with the lemon juice, then spoon into the mushroom mixture and slowly stir through (the heat should be at the absolute minimum to prevent the cream from separating). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5

Drain the pasta and serve in two bowls. Top with the mushroom stroganoff and garnish with thyme.
