Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to package directions.
• While the pasta is boiling, make the spinach pesto: In a food processor (or a blender in a pinch), pulse the spinach, garlic, walnuts, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. Don't pulse it to a paste - leave it a little chunky - some texture is good.
• Okay, now pick your track! Are you going all veggie, all carnie, or a split between the two?

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SANDWICHES WITH ARUGULA AND BACON

Steps:

• Start a charcoal grill. Lightly brush the bread slices with 1 teaspoon of garlic or olive oil and brush the mushrooms with the rest. Grill the bread until toasted, about 1 minute per side. Grill the mushrooms until tender, about 4 minutes per side. Let cool. Slice into 1-inch-thick strips.
• In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add the arugula and toss to coat. Divide half the arugula on half the bread. Top each with 1 slice of bacon, the remaining arugula and the remaining bread. Serve immediately.

GREEN BEANS WITH PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS AND BACON

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans and return to the boil. Cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water. (The green beans can be prepared up to 1 day ahead. Pat the green beans dry with paper towels, place in a large self-sealing plastic bag, and refrigerate.) Cut off the stem from each mushroom and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick roundness. Using a teaspoon, scrape out the dark brown gills from the underside of each mushroom cap and cut the caps into 1/4-inch-thick strips. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the mushroom stems and caps and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the shallots and cook, stirring often, until the shallots soften, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside. (The mushrooms can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead, covered, and kept at room temperature.) Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and tilt to coat the pan. Add the bacon and cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and brown, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to paper towels to drain. Leave the bacon drippings in the skillet. When the bacon is cool, coarsely chop and set aside. (The bacon can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead, covered, and kept at room temperature.) Place the skillet over medium heat and heat until the bacon drippings sizzle. Add the green beans and mushrooms, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bacon and season with the salt and pepper. Transfer to a warmed serving dish and serve immediately.

PAN SEARED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS WITH BACON AND BLUE CHEESE

• Place a large saute pan over medium high and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add the portobello mushrooms to the rendered bacon fat and season them with salt and pepper. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, and once golden brown, flip. Season again with salt and pepper and cook until golden brown, another 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove the mushrooms from the pan to a platter.
• Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
• Add the butter and then toss back in the bacon and then sprinkle the flour over the onion bacon mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the flour begins to look sandy.
• Slowly pour in the chicken stock and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Once the gravy starts to thicken and simmer, pour in the milk.
• Add the blue cheese and cook until the gravy coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Add the parsley, spoon the gravy on top of the mushrooms and serve.
