Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Prepare the vegetables by peeling and chopping onions, mincing garlic and chopping mushrooms.

To the same pan add chopped mushrooms and saute over medium heat with a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic and fresh thyme until most liquid from mushrooms is evaporated. Add flour and stir to coat the mushrooms, then add the cream cheese and let it melt over very low heat, then add the arugula and take off the heat to cool for 10 minutes.
