Whole wheat pasta with king oyster mushrooms is a simple main course.
The mushrooms I often buy during the fall and winter are king oyster mushrooms [Pleurotus Eryngii] from local sources [Chiaramonte]: meaty, firm, flavorful, and versatile.
In the absence of king oysters, you can use button mushrooms or champignons, pleurotus, or whichever you prefer and find available.
Regarding mushroom cleaning: despite various opinions, mushrooms should always be washed and dried thoroughly before use.
Personally, I decide based on the type purchased and the cleanliness level: I usually buy them in containers, and they are always quite clean, possibly rinsing them under running water, paying particular attention to the space between the gills [plates under the cap] and the usually earthy stem, then letting them drain in a colander.
In the case of button mushrooms, I peel the mushroom cap with a small knife.
I prepared a white sauce with king oyster mushrooms, enveloping and creamy without cream, perfect for a light mushroom pasta.
With the addition of shaved Grana Padano or lean speck, in the gram amounts provided by our dietary plan, the whole wheat pasta with king oyster mushrooms can be transformed into a single dish that concentrates the characteristics of a balanced meal into one serving.
Light but very, very tasty!
