• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 -3 garlic cloves, diced
• 1/2 medium onion, chopped
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped basil (I use freeze-dried)

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 6 -9 dried shiitake mushrooms
• 1 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese

1. Soak dried shiitake mushrooms in warm water for 20-30 minute to rehydrate. Squeeze out any excess water.
2. Cook pasta according to package directions and set aside.
3. In large pan heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, mushrooms and garlic.
4. Reduce heat to medium and add butter, red pepper, Italian Seasoning, garlic, and basil. Cook about 1-2 minute to mix flavors.
5. Add wine. Cook another 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
6. Add milk and let simmer until liquid is almost evaporated.
7. Mix pasta into "sauce" and add a bit more milk or butter if needed to evenly coat.
8. Sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano and serve.
