Holly's Note:

I adore mushrooms. The original recipe came from Joy Filled Eats.  I made some adjustments to flavors and I actually make these on 4 Portobello mushrooms, instead of the small caps. They make 4 nice "burgers". The caps make a great appetizer.

Holly's Notes:

I found the noodle recipe at Peace, Love and Low Carb. The Doctor has missed lasagna and I was thrilled to find this recipe for noodles. So, I used this recipe for the noodles and the meat sauce from my Best-Ever Lasagna.

This super easy and very rich. But, oh my goodness, it has gone over well at our house.

If you have extra sauce, it freezes well.
