Tbs. of the lemon juice, and set aside.

package directions until al dente. Drain,
reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
Return the pasta to the pot and toss with the
brown-butter mixture.
In a large straight-sided skillet, heat the oil
over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the
shallots and cook until golden brown in spots,
1 to 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook,
stirring frequently, until golden brown and
crisp in spots, about 5 minutes. Add the peas
and cook, 1 minute, and then add the garlic and
cook, about 15 seconds.
Transfer the pasta to the skillet, and toss
with the mushroom mixture. Add the mascarpone,
1/2 cup cooking water, 2 Tbs. of the lemon
juice, the tarragon, 2 tsp. of the lemon zest,
1-1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. pepper, and toss
until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy.
Add cooking water as needed.
Divide the pasta among four plates. Top with
the pea shoots. Serve with lemon wedges, and
pass the Parmigiano-Reggiano.
