In addition to the shiitake mushrooms called for here, look for morels, porcini or even button mushrooms, all of which are available during late spring early summer months.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
6 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup minced shallots
1 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
8 ounces fresh peas, shelled, or 1 3/4 cups frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 pound fettuccine
3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into thin strips
Chopped Italian parsley

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions and shallots and sauté until onions soften, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and wine. Cover skillet and cook until mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add peas and cream; simmer until peas are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain well.

    Step 2

    Return pasta to same pot. Mix in mushroom sauce and prosciutto; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to large bowl; sprinkle with parsley and serve
