(Yields 4 servings)

My family loved this fresh and simple pasta recipe created by Chloe Cascarelli especially for BTTR Ventures. I would recommend doubling the amount of mushrooms, because they reduce in volume quite a bit with the browning. And, since we love pine nuts on this sort of dish, we toasted a few and tossed them right on top!

Ingredients

1 pound fettuccine pasta

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons

olive oil

6 ounces BTTR oyster

mushrooms (21/2 cups)

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1/4 cup white or Marsala wine

1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes

1 bag arugula

(approximately 4 cups)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup Asiago cheese, grated

Directions

1. Cook pasta according to directions. Drain and toss

with 1/4 cup olive oil.

2. Sautee mushrooms with pinch of salt in medium pan

over medium heat until slightly browned.

3. Add garlic and white wine and simmer until liquid

evaporates, about 2 minutes.

4. Toss sauteed mushrooms, sundried tomatoes and

arugula with hot pasta until arugula has fully wilted.

5. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with grated

Asiago cheese.
