Steps:
- Cook the pasta to al dante in boiling salted water according to box instructions. Keep 1 cup of the pasta cooking water then drain the pasta.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive and butter over medium-high heat, add the shallots and garlic and cook, tossing regularly for 2 to 3 minutes (manage the heat so that the garlic does not burn).
- Add all the mushrooms and toss them around in the pan for a couple of minutes, adding another drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Season with a good pinch of kosher salt, black pepper and the rosemary. Cook the mushrooms for about 7 to 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until they turn color and release their juices.
- Add the tomato paste, wine and about ½ to 3/4 cup of the pasta cooking water. Cook over medium heat for about 4 to 5 minutes (this becomes your mushroom pasta sauce).
- Add the cooked pasta to the mushroom sauce. Toss to combine. If needed add a little bit more of the pasta cooking water.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese and finish with a sprinkle of parsley, walnuts and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately!

CREAMY PASTA WITH CRISPY MUSHROOMS
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.

Steps:
- Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large pot over medium-high. Cook half of mushrooms in a single layer, undisturbed, until edges are brown and starting to crisp, about 3 minutes. Give mushrooms a toss and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until all sides are brown and crisp, about 5 minutes more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to a plate; season with salt. Repeat with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and mushrooms and more salt.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and return all of the mushrooms to the pot. Add shallots and cook, stirring often, until shallots are translucent and softened, about 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than package directions.
- Using tongs, transfer pasta to pot with mushrooms and add cream and 1 cup pasta cooking liquid. Increase heat to medium, bring to a simmer, and cook, tossing constantly, until pasta is al dente and liquid is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat. Add lemon zest and juice, parsley, butter, 1/2 oz. Parmesan, and lots of pepper and toss to combine. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
- Divide pasta among bowls and top with more Parmesan.

- If you like add the parmesan cheese to get an even creamier sauce.
- Serve with pasta and enjoy! :).
Additional tips
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavour and texture.
- If you don't have fresh mushrooms, you can use canned or reconstituted from dry. Canned mushrooms should be drained and well-rinsed before using.
- Be sure to use a heavy-bottomed pan or pot for cooking the mushrooms. This will help to prevent sticking and scorching.
- If you are using a creamy mushroom recipe, be sure to use heavy or full-cream milk for the best results.
- Herbs like thyme, rosemary, and sage all pair well with mushrooms.
- A splash of white wine or sherry can be added for extra depth of flavour.
- Serve the mushroom dish with a side of crusty bread, rice, or mashed creamy.
