Shiitake Mushroom Pasta

Very pleased to have got to the little pre-farmer’s market drop-off today. Picked up some lovely shiitake mushrooms, sweet red onions, a couple of varieties of baby lettuce, mustard spinach, and half a dozen eggs. Shopping doesn’t get better than this! I love the excitement of buying fresh stuff straight from the farmer’s, and I’m subsequently consumed by the potential it tempts upon my culinary imagination.

Well, today was this: Shiitake mushroom, sweet onion, garlic, sage and thyme cream sauce with spaghetti and grated parmesan.

It turned out very light and incredibly fresh, a testament to the ingredients more than to the chef.
