Conchiglie Pesto Pasta with Oyster Mushrooms

20221214, #breakfastdiary 625, -12°C/mostly clear, 11min/exercise Doing my #yearendreview — my #drinkoftheyear is #nonalcoholic beer. I'm not much for soda, but whenever I craved a drink or just needed something to quench my thirst, non-alcoholic beers were always a great companion. I once did a side-by-side tasting of a regular beer and its non-alcoholic version from the same brand, and the non-alcoholic one actually had the stronger aroma — probably trying that much harder to pass itself off as the real thing. That's how every fake in the world seems to work. Sear the oyster mushrooms in a hot pan with olive oil, herbs, salt, and pepper. Boil the conchiglie in water, reserve some pasta water, lower the heat, stir in a good amount of pesto, then plate it up with the oyster mushrooms and a generous grating of pecorino. #conchigliepestopasta
