2 3-ounce cans smoked oysters or smoked mussels
8-10 ounces Pasta shells
3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped

Grated Parmesan cheese, to serve (optional)
Wash and drain the spinach and the Enoki mushrooms. Cut the lower one-inch of the Enoki mushrooms and rinse again. Pat dry. Bring large pan of salted water to boil, drop in pasta, shells and cook 7-12 minutes until al dente (just cooked). Meanwhile drain oil from smoked oysters into a large, deep skillet over high heat. When the oil is very hot, add the chopped garlic followed by the spinach leaves, and the Enoki mushrooms. Stir swiftly for barely one minute, just until the spinach becomes limp. Stir in smoked oysters. Remove from heat and season with plenty of black pepper and a little salt if needed. Drain pasta and put into a heated serving bowl. Pour the skillet mixture over the pasta and mix lightly. Serve immediately with grated Parmesan. |
