About the Recipe: This dish looks like it took hours to make, but it was finished in an hour.  The Italian sauce is blended with mushrooms, adding a delicious umami flavor.  The croutons soften but remain a little crisp, providing that extra garlic crunch along with snappy peas. Tender pasta noodles dressed with light buttery Parmesan cheese is a winning combination.

Cook’s Note:  True Italian meat sauce takes hours to cook. This meat sauce tastes rich but is easy to make. Let the meat sauce slowly cook stirring occasionally. The peas and the noodles both cook in 3 minutes, which will leave you enough time to arrange the peas on the platter for an impressive look. Spoon the meat sauce over the center of platter right before serving, circle with noodles and serve.

To Serve:  Spoon Italian meat sauce in center portion of serving plate over the croutons; spoon egg noodles in a circle around the meat.  Sprinkle noodles lightly with ground red pepper or paprika; garnish lightly with grated Parmesan cheese and add a fresh basil sprig.  Serve warm.

Serves: 4 to 6
