hand)
3 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
3 cups chicken or vegetable stock (700ml)

Method
1. Put your pot on a high medium heat. While you are waiting for it to
warm up, chop uncooked sausages in 1-inch pieces, finely chop
onions and garlic, and slice the mushrooms.
2. Once the pot has heated up, add the sausages, onion, garlic and
lemon juice and cook for a few minutes until the sausages start to
color. Add the mushrooms along with a few generous pinches of salt
and pepper.
3. Once the onions have softened, and the mushrooms have colored,
add in the dried pasta and fresh thyme leaves. Pour over the stock
and half and half and bring to the boil.
4. Cook for around 10-15 minutes, until the pasta is al dente, and stir
every now and then to distribute the pasta and the rest of the
ingredients.
5. Turn the heat to medium low and stir in the soft cheese, along with
some salt and pepper. Add the spinach a handful at a time and mix
in. Once all the cheese is mixed in and the spinach has wilted, serve!
