Start small and increase as you decide how much contributes to the 'great'
you're looking for. Dicing a simple 4 oz can of mushrooms is a good
beginning. The wolves I feed would sooner eat manicured chicken toes than
mushrooms so I sort of sneak them in. My other 'great' tricks with
spaghetti are to actually cook the tomato paste a little instead of just
plopping it in. Also, buying a nice chunk of parmesean cheese and grating
it yourself is a really good addition. Polly
