LINGUINE WITH TRUMPET MUSHROOM "SCALLOPS"
Sauteed trumpet mushrooms look like scallops, but are much more forgiving to cook, and a hell of a lot cheaper. I love them in this pasta--it feels surprisingly elegant--but you could make the mushrooms on their own for salads or grain bowls. I use white pasta here since whole wheat's earthy flavor can overwhelm the mushrooms.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Salt aggressively and add the linguine. Cook until 3 minutes before the package says the pasta will be done. Use a liquid measuring cup to scoop out 1 cup (240 milliliters) of the pasta water, set the water aside, then drain the pasta.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and season with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook the mushrooms, stirring a few times, until golden brown on both sides, 10 to 14 minutes. You want them to brown nicely, so avoid stirring too much.
- Add the cooked pasta to the pan with 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) of the reserved pasta water and cook, stirring constantly, until the pasta is cooked through, 1 to 3 minutes more. Add the remaining 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) pasta water if the pasta is too dry.
- Remove from the heat, stir in the chives, lemon juice and butter, and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Serve hot.
