Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 large garlic cloves -- chopped

1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

2 lemons -- zest of

1 pound linguine

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 shallots -- minced

8 ounces oyster mushrooms -- sliced (2 1/2 cups)

salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

Gremolata, sometimes spelled " gremolada, " is a zesty mixture of garlic,

lemon, and parsley that brings out the slightly sweet flavor of the oyster

mushrooms. A garnish often sprinkled on Italian stews such as osso bucco,

this Milanese seasoning is paired here with pasta to good effect.

 

Finely mince the garlic, parsley, and lemon zest together until well

combined and set aside. Cook the linguine in a large pot of salted boiling

water, stirring occasionally, until it is al dente, about 8 minutes. While

the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over

medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until softened, about 5

minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin

to soften, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. When

the pasta is cooked, drain it and place in a large bowl. Add the mushroom

mixture, the remaining oil, and the gremolata, and toss gently to

combine. Serve immediately.

 

Serves 4
