PASTA WITH KALE, SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND SAUSAGE
Kale, shiitakes and sausage bring a deep earthiness to this quick weeknight recipe, which David Latt shared with The Times in 2008. A meatless version is readily made: Lose the sausages, and use pasta water instead of stock.

Steps:
- Make the pasta in boiling salted water, drain (reserve 2 cups of the pasta water if you're making the vegetarian version), drizzle with olive oil, season with sea salt and black pepper, toss and set aside.
- Sauté with olive oil or grill the sausages to put a crust on the outside, drain on a paper towel, cut into 1/4-inch rounds, then set aside. In a hot pan lightly brown the kale with the olive oil and remove. Add the shiitakes, shallots, and garlic, and sauté until lightly browned. Turn down the heat to medium. Return the kale to the pan along with the sausages, stock, and butter. Braise for 15 minutes. The liquid should reduce by half.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with sea salt and pepper. Add the cooked pasta, toss to coat with the sauce. Serve with grated cheese.

HERBED PORK WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS
A fairly light dinner - the shiitake mushrooms add a rich flavor, though. This is a lot of mushrooms - I've had my best luck finding them (dried) at Asian food stores for a reasonable price.

Tips
- Use a variety of mushrooms. This recipe calls for shiitake mushrooms, but you can use any type of mushroom you like. Some good options include cremini mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and portobello mushrooms.
- Sauté the mushrooms until they are browned. This will help to bring out their flavor.
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will give your pasta dish a more flavorful taste. Some good options include basil, oregano, and thyme.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Pasta should be cooked al dente, which means it should be slightly firm to the bite.
- Serve the pasta immediately. Pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked, so that it doesn't have time to get soggy.
