Note

Use fresh shiitake mushrooms for the best texture and flavor; remove the tough stems before slicing.

If using dry linguine, adjust cooking time in the broth as needed, ensuring there is enough liquid for the pasta to absorb.

Sweet Italian sausage provides a mild flavor; for a spicier dish, substitute with hot Italian sausage.

This dish is best served immediately while the pasta is hot and the flavors are vibrant.
