OK...
Don't tell anyone, but because of one of my many food-world jobs, I now have access to a restaurant supply store...
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Three pounds of gorgeous Shiitake mushrooms for 10 bucks! I couldn't say no!
So dinner, of course, was pasta... I used farfalle, but if you're up for making fresh:

Sauced with sautéed shiitakes, onions, garlic, first-of-the-season fresh chives, tarragon, sage, and thyme... a bit of pasta water... a bit of heavy cream... and some wonderful Dragunera smoked salt...

With a bit of Parmigiano... and a final sprinkle of spicy ghost pepper salt...
Heaven!!!
