Creamy Pasta with Crispy Mushrooms

Name: Creamy Pasta with Crispy Mushrooms
Cuisine: European, Italian, Mediterranean
Ingredients: 4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil; 1 lb. mixed mushrooms (such as maitake, oyster, crimini, and/or shiitake), torn into bite-size pieces; Kosher salt; 2 medium shallots, finely chopped; 1 lb. spaghetti or bucatini; ½ cup heavy cream; ⅓ cup finely chopped parsley; Zest and juice of ½ lemon; 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces; ½ oz. Parmesan, finely grated (about ½ cup), plus more for serving; Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Supermarkets would have you believe it’s always mushroom season. It is—for white buttons, maybe. But the first cool fall days bring feathery maitakes, meaty oysters, and other flavorful varieties worth seeking out at the farmers’ market. Whichever one you pick, all they’ll need is a quick sear in a hot pan before being tossed into a creamy pasta sauce.
