Pasta with Mushroom Sage Olive Oil & Pecorino

Servings

4

Ingredients

4 tablespoons Wild Mushroom & Sage infused Olive Oil
6 fresh sage leaves, cut in thin strips
2 oz. pancetta thinly sliced (optional)

1 cup sliced mushrooms (if desired)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup grated Pecorino Romano
kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

12 oz. dry Oh Olive pasta of choice, cooked al dente in lightly salted water

Directions

While your pasta cooks add the olive oil to a large saute pan over medium heat. Add sage leave strips, pancetta & mushrooms, if desired. Fry for a couple of minutes until the sage and pancetta strips are crispy but not burnt. Add the lemon juice and whisk. Set aside. Drain the pasta but leave a fair amount of cooking water in the pasta. Add the wet pasta to the saute pan and return to heat tossing to coat and thicken the sauce. Test for seasoning, adding fresh ground pepper and additional salt if desired, and serve immediately.
