Easy Meal Features Mushrooms

Toss fresh mushrooms with tomatoes, green pepper, onions and seasonings, then serve over hot pasta for a light entree. Some crusty bread and a glass of chilled wine or iced tea completes the easy meal.

Spaghetti With Tomato and Mushroom Sauce is equally delicious served chilled. Prepare it the night before or early in the morning before dinner guests start to arrive.
