• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms in an even layer and sprinkle with the lemon zest. Cook, undisturbed, until browned, about 2 minutes. Toss with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and continue to cook until the mushrooms are tender but not mushy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add additional salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the chives. Serve warm.

Drain pasta and toss with lemon-pepper butter and salt, to taste. Add the basil to the pasta and serve a small bundle alongside your entree or serve as a delicate first course.
