Ziti with Chinese Sausage and Oyster Mushrooms

• 4 ounces ziti
• 3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
• 2 links Chinese sausage, thinly sliced (available in Asian markets)
• 1 teaspoon roasted sesame oil
• 1 bunch scallions, white part and 1 inch into dark green sliced into 1-inch pieces
• ½ pound fresh oyster mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
• 3 tablespoons Chinese oyster sauce

Preparation:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the ziti, stir, and cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes.

While the ziti is cooking, heat the peanut oil in a large sauté pan or wok. Add the sausage and sauté until some of the fat in the sausage begins to blend with the peanut oil, about 3 minutes. Add the sesame oil, then add the scallions and sauté for 30 seconds. Stir in the mushrooms and sauté for 2 minutes, until the mushrooms go limp. Add the oyster sauce and stir to combine. Remove from the heat.

Drain the ziti in a colander, pour into a bowl, add the mushroom mixture, and mix. Serve immediately.
