I vote for a nice sauteed mushroom sauce made up and then add the cooked
pasta to the pan to toss and heat. I'd make it up as I went with
seasoned sauteed 'shrooms, a little white wine tossed in to deglaze the
pan, then some creme fraiche or mascarpone stirred in. Maybe a few
chopped oil cured olives or halved cherry tomatoes tossed in the pan.
But that's just me...

It's a type of flat ravioli, made from puppies.
Very popular in Korea. :-)

Google is your friend. . . . "-)
Flat pasta, wider than fettucine; about 1/2" wide.

Hooyah! That sounds some good, Toots. I have some baby portobellos.
No mascarpone, though, or o-c olives or cherry tomatoes, but, hey, I
could make this work regardless. "-)

We were out for dinner last night and I had "Maine Lobster and Forest
Mushroom" from the pasta selections: "Pasta with fresh lobster,
housemade mushroom au jus, thyme, and aged parmesan. $23.95" It was
underwhelming. The lobster was tough and dry and I must've missed the
jus. AND it was with regular spaghetti. I'm so accustomed to either
vermicelli or cappellini (sp?) that regular spaghetti (larger diameter)
holds no charm for me. I should've sent it back but the others in the
group would've been finished by the time my sub would have been served.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I've seen it served with a nice bolognese a lot.

Real Butter, pasta Water & Parmesan and/or Romano cheese.

I don't think you can go wrong with butter & cheese.

OK a little fresh pepper & a whisper of nutmeg......

Pepperdalle is roughly spaghetti length and probably 3/4 inch wide.
It's a much heavier bodied pasta than a wide egg noodle, but cooks up
tender. Wonderful under goulash or a meaty sauce like bolognese.

Used it last night as a side with pot roast & gravy - nice change from
mashed potatoes or egg noodles. I use it as a side with sauced
entrees like chicken marsala or piccata. TJ's also has a lemon pepper
version that's quite good tossed with a tad of olive oil & served with
fish or shrimp.

I just cook them and serve them buttered, along side a beef stew or
pot roast. Or some other type of stew...
