WILD MUSHROOM AND BUTTER BEAN PASTA
This is a great pasta for autumn, hearty and deeply flavorful. Wild golden chanterelle mushrooms are especially nice and often available in the fall; choose small, firm, unblemished ones. Otherwise use a mixture of pale oyster mushrooms, including royal trumpets. End-of-summer fresh shelling beans work well here, or any dried white bean, such as cannellini. The simple complementary flavors of olive oil, pancetta, garlic and rosemary are just right, mingling with lightly browned mushrooms and creamy beans. Make sure to keep the pasta firmly al dente. To get the best rosemary flavor, chop it at the last moment, and toss a rosemary sprig into the pot while the pasta is cooking.

- Put pancetta in a wide, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and stir to coat. Let lardons sizzle gently until crisp and golden, about 3 minutes. Add onions, season lightly with salt and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and softened, about 5 minutes. Remove onion mixture from pan and set aside.
- Return pan to stove over high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. When oil is hot, add chanterelles and stir to coat. Season generously with salt and pepper and cook, stirring until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Turn heat to medium and stir in garlic, crushed red pepper flakes and chopped rosemary. Cook for a minute more and turn off the heat.
- Add a handful of salt to the pasta water, then add rosemary sprig and bring to a full boil. Add bucatini and stir well. Adjust heat to keep pasta cooking briskly. Cook until firmly al dente (you should feel it is not quite done) and drain.
- While pasta is cooking, put skillet of mushrooms back on medium-high heat. Add reserved onion-pancetta mixture and heat through, stirring. Add beans and 1 cup bean cooking liquid and bring to a simmer.
- Add cooked pasta to pan and stir well, coating the pasta with the mushroom-bean mixture. While stirring, let pasta finish cooking, about 1 minute more, adding a little more bean liquid if necessary. Transfer to a wide pasta bowl, sprinkle with parsley and serve. Offer grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese if you wish.

Tips:
- Soak the butter beans overnight: Soaking the butter beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce their cooking time. If you're short on time, you can also quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a variety of wild mushrooms: The type of wild mushrooms you use will affect the flavor of your pasta. Some popular choices include chanterelles, porcini, and shiitake mushrooms. If you're new to cooking with wild mushrooms, it's a good idea to start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Sauté the mushrooms in butter: Sautéing the mushrooms in butter helps to bring out their flavor and give them a slightly crispy texture. Be sure to use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the dish.
- Add the butter beans and pasta to the pot: Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the butter beans and pasta to the pot. Stir to combine and cook according to the package directions.
- Season the pasta to taste: Once the pasta is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a handful of chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil.
