Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook butter, pork and onions together until well browned. Add tomato paste, mushrooms, celery, peppers, lemon juice, salt, pepper and cheese. Simmer 15 minutes to make a rich sauce.

  2. 2

    In a deep kettle of boiling salted water, cook noodles until just tender. Drain.

  3. 3

    Mix noodles with the sauce. Cover closely and cook slowly 1 hour on top of stove or in a 350°F oven.

  4. 4

    Note: Even better if you make the sauce the day before and let it season.
