This pasta with mushrooms, peas, and shredded pecorino comes together in less than 30 minutes and is perfect for a busy weeknight. Pasta can be a canvas for creativity and can be a great way to empty the fridge and turn those (almost expired) veggies into a gourmet delight.

The combination of shiitake and button mushrooms, the burst of sweetness from peas, and the shredded pecorino cheese creates a combination of tastes that will leave you wanting more. The best and easiest part is that all you need to complete this dish is lemon juice, salt and pepper and Meyer lemon infused olive oil. That’s it! Serve it as a light meal for any occasion or as a side dish for a friendly get together. Enjoy!
