Sunday Supper - Lo Mein with Shitakes and Snow Peas

The secret to this tasty vegetarian dish is to use fresh pasta - not dried! I think the shitake mushrooms add enough to the dish but feel free to add shredded chicken or shrimp if you want more heft.

1. Cook 12 oz fresh linguine or spaghetti. Drain and rinse.

2. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup low-sodium chicke broth, 2 tbs oyster sauce, 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil, and 1 tsp Chinese chile-garlic sauce.

3. In a large skillet heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil. Add 1/2 lb shitake mushrooms, stemed discarded and caps thinly sliced. Stir until brown. Add 1 tbs fresh, minced peeled fresh ginger and 1 minced garlic clove. Add 6 oz chopped and trimmed snow peas.

4. Stir in the sauce and 3 sliced scallions. Briefly cook until warm and serve with exta Chinese chile-garlic sauce.
