Briefly cooking the gravy with thyme sprigs saves the time of stripping the tiny leaves from the stem, but still gives you the herb's woodsy flavor in this steak recipe. Serve over pasta, as instructed.
It's the fresh shiitake and oyster mushrooms paired with shallots that make this quick pasta a hearty supper, and the light but flavorful broth makes for a nice change from your typical weeknight red sauce.
Spring onions are those that have been harvested early-they look like scallions with large white bulbs. If they're unavailable, use Vidalia onions. Rotini (corkscrew pasta) will work in place of fusilli.
