Instructions

The idea substitute portabella mushroom for the meat in a favorite Italian
recipe.

This served 2 easily and would have served 3. Pre-warm/cook everything,
assemble it in a casserole, top with mozzarella and bake it about 15
minutes.

PastaZesta is a new product for us. It's a spaghetti, homemade, dried, flat
like soba, made of durum wheat, flavored with various - we chose tomato and
basil. No eggs! Very light and flavorful. Cooks in 3 minutes. It comes in a
tan 8-oz box and was near the bottled sauces. We recommend it. Made in
Canada.

STEP #1 Using a micro-wave proof dish, like a pyrex measure, combine the
tomato sauce, garlic, basil, oregano and red pepper flakes. Zap at 100% for
about 2 minutes (700 watts). Stir and let stand.

MEANWHILE prepare the pasta.

STEP #2 Heat oil in skillet. Press some (what you can) wheat germ into the
slices of mushroom and saut‚,over medium-high heat, turning once, about 1
1/2
to 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat.

STEP #3 Set oven temperature to 375°F. Place drained pasta in a shallow
casserole. Pour half the sauce on top and spread. Season with pepper (a
little
salt). Sprinkle on remaining wheat germ, especially along the outer edge
where
it will catch the sauce. Layer the mushroom slices on top of that. Pour on
the
remaining sauce. Top with cheese. Top with parsley. Bake about 15 minutes
until cheese is melted and beginning to brown. Nice served with asparagus.
