1 |
Cook pasta
in a large pot of boiling salted water until
barely al dente. |
|
2 |
While pasta
is cooking, stir together bread crumbs, 1
Tablespoon olive oil, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a
bowl until combined well. Transfer to a 12-inch
heavy skillet and cook over moderate heat,
stirring, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes, then
return to bowl. |
|
3 |
Heat 2
Tablespoons butter and remaining 2 Tablespoons
oil in skillet over moderately high heat until
foam subsides, then sauté mushrooms, stirring
until golden, about 4 minutes. Add zest and
garlic and sauté, stirring, until mushrooms
exude liquid about 3 minutes. Add Worcestershire
sauce and lemon juice and cook until most of
liquid is evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in
thyme, pepper and remaining ¾ teaspoon salt. |

Reserve 1
cup pasta cooking water, then drain pasta in a
colander. |
|
5 |
Transfer
mushrooms to pasta pot, then add ½ cup reserved
cooking water and bring to a boil. Stir in
parsley and remaining 2 Tablespoons butter.
Return pasta to pot and add cheese, tossing to
combine. If pasta seems dry, moisten with more
cooking water. |
