LINGUINE WITH LEMON, GARLIC AND THYME MUSHROOMS
This is one of my proudest creations, and I suppose a good example of a recipe that isn't traditionally from Italy, but sits uncontroversially in her culinary canon. I don't think it would be too presumptuous to name this linguine ai funghi crudi. It is about as speedy as you can imagine: you do no more to the mushrooms than slice them, steep them in oil, garlic, lemon and thyme and toss them into the hot cooked pasta. I'm afraid, I had to have this forcibly taken away from me during the photographic shoot of this book, otherwise I'd have eaten it all up before it had even had its picture taken. The dressed mushrooms also make a great salad, but in which case boost the quantities of sliced mushrooms (keeping other ingredients the same, and obviously you're omitting the pasta altogether) to 375g/6 cups. If all you can find is regular button mushrooms, this pasta is still worth making - so no excuse for not.

Steps:
- Place the water and 2 teaspoons of salt in a large pot, cover and bring to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until al dente, about 3 minutes, stirring with chopsticks to break them up. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain well. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of scallion oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the shiitakes and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.

CREAMY LEMON-MUSHROOM PASTA
This is a lovely creamy, but light, pasta dish. The lemon flavor adds a wonderful bright note to the rich sauce and earthy mushrooms. This is a great meatless entrée or side pasta dish - or add some grilled salmon, shrimp, or chicken if you'd like!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
- Meanwhile, heat oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Saute mushrooms in the pan, adjusting heat as necessary, until golden brown, tender, and they have released their moisture. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper while cooking. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add in lemon zest and juice. Stir to combine. Stir in 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese until combined and melted in. Taste and adjust salt and pepper to your preference.
- Add in the cooked pasta and toss in the sauce. Add in some of the reserved pasta water if needed, a little at a time, to thin the sauce so that it coats and sticks to the pasta without being too thick or sticky. It should be a nice creamy consistency.
- Serve pasta with a sprinkling of minced parsley and an additional sprinkling of Parmesan cheese, if desired.
