Directions
-
In a large skillet, cook and crumble sausage in oil over medium-high heat until sausage is browned and the internal temperature is 160°F. Transfer sausage with a slotted spoon. Drain all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet and return to heat.
-
Brush off any dirt from the mushrooms with a pastry brush or a dish towel. Cut mushrooms into quarters; add to remaining hot oil in the skillet. Let them fry fast, tossing once only after the edges are browned.
-
Add the garlic, pepper flakes and salt. Return sausage to skillet and continue to fry fast; tossing regularly. Turn the heat off and squeeze in lemon juice. Toss and adjust seasoning to taste.
-
Meanwhile, cut egg roll pasta squares into 1-1/2 inch wide strips (4 strips each square) and cook in boiling salted water until tender; 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Drain and add to sausage mushroom mixture. Add the Parmesan, parsley and butter; toss gently.
-
Place in serving bowls. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
