Hi Everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful Friday.

Today's recipe would be wonderful on a cool, nippy fall day like today. I find it helpful to cook my meat sauce in advance then freeze it. It is wonderful for those nights that are rushed. Just remove from the freezer, defrost and heat while cooking the pasta. Serve with side salad and garlic cheese bread.

Fettuccine with Meat Sauce

1/2 lb. fettuccine
2 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 cup
finely chopped onion
1 lb. ground beef
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can stems and pieces mushrooms
worchestershire sauce, to taste
oregano, to taste
grated Parmesan cheese

Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente. Drain thoroughly. Transfer pasta to a serving bowl and keep warm.

Heat oil in a heavy nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Cook garlic and onion for 2-3 minutes or until onion is softened. Stir in ground beef and cook for 7-8 minutes or until meat is browned. Drain off fat.

Stir in remaining ingredients, except cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer vigorously for 10 minutes or until thickened. Pour sauce over pasta and toss. Serve with Parmesan.
