Orecchiette With Shiitake Mushrooms & Snap Peas
Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Step 2: Add the pasta and cook for 8-9 minutes, until it is al dente.
Step 3: Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Place the cooked pasta in a bowl large enough for easy mixing.
Step 4: Heat the olive oil in a 10″ or 12″ nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion, mushrooms and peas and sauté for 4-5 minutes.
Step 5: Add the sautéed vegetables to the bowl with the cooked pasta. Toss well, adding a tbsp or so of the reserved pasta water, if needed, for moisture.
Step 6: Add the scallions, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper, and toss lightly to blend.
Note: If there is any leftover pasta, it is delicious served at room temperature the next day.
