This simple dish works best with the freshest mushrooms and sweet peas. Try a mixture of wild mushrooms for the most appeal.
3 pounds Barilla Gluten Free Penne
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds sliced mixed mushrooms
Cook the Barilla pasta for half the time indicated on the package. Drain pasta and drizzle with some olive oil to prevent from sticking. Place pasta flat on sheet trays or hotel pans and cool in a blast chiller. Alternatively, cool it down in a walk-in cooler. Store in zip lock bags or sealed plastic container; refrigerate and use within several hours.
