What You Get

Trumpet mushrooms

Broccoli

Parsley

Lemon

Cream

Brown rice fettuccine pasta

Grated Parmesan cheese

What You'll Need

Olive oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Chile flakes (optional)

Step 1

Cut the mushrooms into bite-sized rounds. Cut the broccoli into florets, and cut the stems into bite-size pieces. Pick the parsley, toss the stems, and roughly chop the leaves. Cut the lemon in half for squeezing.

Step 2

In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoon olive oil. Add the mushrooms and sauté until they begin to brown and release their liquid, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Return the pan to medium heat and add the cream. Bring it to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.

Step 3

Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to boil. Add the broccoli to the boiling water and blanch until bright green and tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the broccoli to the pan with the cream, along with the mushrooms, and stir to combine.

Step 4

Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 2-3 minutes or according to package instructions. Drain the pasta, reserving ¼ cup of the pasta water. Add the pasta and reserved pasta water to the pan with the cream, along with ⅔ cup of the grated cheese, and ¼ cup of water. Return the pan to low heat and stir until the sauce thickens, 2 minutes. Fold in the chopped parsley last.

Step 5

Heap the pasta into bowls or plates. Add a squeeze of lemon and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and chile flakes, if you want a little heat. Grind with pepper and serve warm.
