Ingredients
- 1 pound campanelle pasta or similar-sized like farfalle
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large shallots chopped fine (about 1 cup)
- 3 large garlic cloves minced
- 10 ounces shiitake mushrooms stems discarded, caps wiped clean and sliced ¼ inch thick
- 10 ounces cremini mushrooms wiped clean and sliced ¼ inch thick
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups chicken broth

Instructions
- Cook pasta to al dente according to package directions, drain and return pasta to pot.
- While pasta cooks, melt butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high and add shiitake and cremini mushrooms and ½ teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to bowl. To skillet add broth and frozen peas and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Once boiling, turn off heat and stir in cream, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.

Notes
I often add leftover ham or chicken to this mushroom pasta. It's a great way to use up leftover meat!
