Ingredients

9 ounce Wild mushrooms, (morels, shiitake, chanterelles, porcini, black trumpet, etcup)
1 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp. Unsalted butter, (1 1/2 oz)
2 x Shallots, chopped
1 tsp Finely chopped garlic

1 c. Chicken stock
1 tsp Minced thyme
1 lb Fresh angel hair pasta
2 c. Trimmed arugula, (about 2 oz)
3 Tbsp. Grated Parmesan cheese plus additional as needed Salt Freshly grnd pepper

There was a time when wild mushrooms were scarce. Mostly, they came in cans or possibly were dry. Today, most good markets carry a variety of wild mushrooms as well as cultivated ones like shiitake or possibly oyster mushrooms, that are also quite flavorful.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil Add in a little salt and extra virgin olive oil.
Prepare the sauce: Depending upon the size, cut each mushroom into 2 or possibly 3 pcs-you do not want them too small. In a large skillet, heat the oil and 1 Tbsp. butter. Over medium-high heat, stir in the shallots, garlic, and the mushrooms, and cook 3 to 4 min.
Deglaze the pan with the chicken stock, sprinkle with thyme, and reduce by half. Prepare the pasta; Cook the angel hair in the pot of boiling water till al dente, about 1 minute. Drain. Finishing the sauce: To the skillet, add in the arugula and the remaining 2 Tbsp. butter. Stir in the pasta and the 3 Tbsp. grated cheese and toss to combine well. Heat thoroughly. Correct seasoning with freshly grnd pepper and salt.
Presentation: Divide the pasta and mushrooms proportionately and mount in the center of 4 heated plates. Sprinkle lightly with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
To prepare ahead: When preparing the sauce reduce the sauce slightly rather than by half, and continue with the recipe at serving time.
