NOTES: * Spaghetti sauce with sausage, mushrooms and eggplant -- I made up this recipe the other day to use up some eggplant. It was an instant hit. Yield: serves 13. * Zucchini can be substituted for the eggplant, and canned tomatoes can be substituted for the tomato and sauce. The sauce should be relatively thick. The sausage can be hot or mild Italian sausage, but if you use mild sausage you will need to add more spices. : Difficulty: easy. : Time: 30 minutes. : Precision: no need to measure. : Anita Cochran : Astronomy Dept., The Univ. of Texas, Austin, TX : {noao, ut-sally, ut-ngp}!utastro!anita arpa: anita@astro.UTEXAS.EDU : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust
