Milanese Pasta Sauce Recipe

• 4 oz mushrooms (sliced)
• ½ oz butter
• ½ pint strong, well flavoured tomato sauce
• 4 oz lean cooked ham (shredded)
• 8 oz spaghetti

This sauce is excellent to serve with spaghetti or any type of pasta, especially when served as a main course. In this case extra ham and mushrooms can be added as in this recipe. Otherwise, it is only necessary to use 2 oz each mushrooms and ham to ½ pint tomato sauce.

Milanese is often mistaken as a dialect of Italian, altough they are both romantic languages, they are seperate dialects. And I found out through wikipedia that Milanese litterally means in the style of Milan.

Method
Sauté mushrooms in the butter for 3-4 minutes, then add the sauce. Simmer for a few minutes, then add the ham. Have ready the spaghetti cooked, well drained and mixed with ½ oz butter. Add the sauce and toss up over heat. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.
