cheezy pasta, fried lions mane, and asparagus

recipe for cheezy pasta with fried lion’s mane mushrooms and asparagus:

Ingredients:

• 8 oz pasta of your choice
• 1 lb lion’s mane mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
• 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite melting cheese)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: red pepper flakes for some heat

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced lion’s mane mushrooms and cook until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Add the asparagus to the skillet and cook until they are tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the asparagus and garlic. Toss everything together.
6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the pasta and stir until the cheese is melted and coats the pasta evenly.
7. Finally, add the fried lion’s mane mushrooms back to the skillet and toss everything together.
8. Optional: sprinkle red pepper flakes for some extra heat.
