      Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Preheat oven to 200\u02daC fan on.<\/li>\n
      2. Slice mushrooms fairly thickly and slice red onion into petals.<\/li>\n
      3. Place the block of feta into the centre of a large roasting dish.<\/li>\n
      4. Scatter the red onion and mushrooms around the feta.<\/li>\n
      5. Tuck the thyme sprigs amongst them.<\/li>\n
      6. Season everything well with salt and pepper and drizzle liberally with olive oil.<\/li>\n
      7. Toss to coat.<\/li>\n
      8. Roast in the oven for \u00b1 20 minutes.<\/li>\n
      9. While the mushrooms and feta are roasting, cook the pasta.<\/li>\n
      10. Cook in a large pot of salted water until al dente.\u00a0(If you are worried about getting the timing just right and prefer to drain the pasta, reserve 2 cups of pasta water before draining) <\/em><\/li>\n
      11. When the mushrooms are ready, remove from the oven and add the lemon zest.<\/li>\n
      12. Stir everything together, adding a few splashes of pasta water as you go to create a creamy feta sauce.<\/li>\n
      13. Using tongs or a strainer transfer the pasta directly into the baking dish.<\/li>\n
      14. Toss to coat in the creamy sauce adding as much pasta water as needed to keep things silky.<\/li>\n
      15. Season well with freshly ground black pepper and a good squeeze of lemon juice.<\/li>\n
      16. Serve topped with fresh thyme leaves and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
