Less is more here: a simple recipe for the delicious, yard loving fairy ring mushroom. There's just something about how angel hair pasta soaks up a little sauce like this, the small size of the mushrooms is perfect for a noodle like this too. Yellowfoot chanterelles would make a great substitute, too.

Servings: 2
Ingredients

- Cook the pasta to al dente, then add to the pan with the mushrooms.
