Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 1/4 lb White mushrooms 1 tb Coarsely chopped falt-leaf
1/2 c Coarsely chopped shallots -parsley
2 ts Finely chopped garlic 2 ts Finely grated lemon zest
3 tb Extra-virgin olive oil 12 oz Butterfly or bow-tie pasta,
Freshly ground black pepper, -uncooked
-to taste Coarsely grated Parmesan
1/3 c Coarsely chopped flat-leaf -cheese, for garnish (opt)
-parsley

For a delicate dinner or lunch pasta, try my mushroom sauce tossed
with bow-tie or butterfly shapes. Try to use extra-virgin olive oil
for flavor when cooking this dish, since there are so few
ingredients. It's not necessary to season the pasta with salt if
using Parmesan cheese, as it's a bit salty. And if you opt for the
Parmesan, freshly grated is a must!

1. Trim mushroom stems and wipe caps clean with a paper towel. Slice
lengthwise.

2. Toss mushrooms, shallots and garlic with oil in a large, heavy
saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for 10 minutes.
Season with pepper. Toss in 1/3 cup parsley and lemon zest. Cook 1
minute longer. Reserve, covered, on the stove.

3. Shortly before serving, cook the pasta in boiling, salted water,
stirring once, 6-8 minutes or until AL DENTE. Drain, reserving 2
tablespoons of the cooking liquid. Toss pasta with mushrooms and
reserved liquid; then toss with Parmesan and serve immediately, or
serve the cheese alongside. Garnish with remaining tablespoon of
chopped parsley.
