NOTE

Mushrooms make a terrific alternative to ground meat! Research from the John Hopkins Weight Management Center found that participants who ate mushroom entrees ate 420 less calories than those who had beef entrees. The fungi in mushrooms seems to be just as filling as beef but contains fewer calories.
** When making pasta sauce, reserve some of the starchy cooking water you cooked the pasta in, if you add it to the sauce, it will allow the pasta to bind to the sauce.
