Made with penne, I sauté the mushrooms with garlic and shallots and then add butter and fresh lemon juice. They both give just the right amount of flavor and silkiness to the noodles. The heat from the pan gently wilts the greens, and then I stir in lemon zest and lots of grated parmesan to finish it.
