This is one of my favorite recipes. I love the fresh mushrooms. Great for leftover lunch.

This is easy to make and it's better the next day. Perfect with a salad and hot garlic bread

This stew is really more of a soup, but still nonetheless good. I boiled 2 cups dry pasta to give it a bit more bite. I couldn't find Italian-seasoned tomato sauce, so I just used plain. I'd add a bit of spices next time.

I would use Italian hot or mild sausage - I don't like anything with ground turkey
