Pasta with Shiitakes, Snow Peas & Garlic Oil

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to turn golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chili and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden brown and the chili is just tender, 1 minute more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the toasted garlic and chili to a bowl, leaving the oil in the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the mushrooms and cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the ginger and snow peas and cook, tossing, for 2 minutes. Toss the pasta with the mushroom mixture, scallions, garlic and chili.
