Abundance of Mushrooms

I have a bag full of white and brown mushrooms in the fridge.  They need to be used up in the next few days.  I found a recipe for mushroom stroganoff on the mushroom.ca web site that looks really good.  I have the ingredients and it looks like the perfect topping to the Noodle Expert's home made whole wheat linguini.

The original recipe called for a variety of mushrooms and also more oil than I wanted to use so I have rewritten the ingredients and instruction.

At the last minute, I decided to toss a few turkey meatballs into the sauce before I served it over the linguini.  Very nice!  The Noodle Expert was very pleased with the final product.

This would work nicely with fettucine or tagliatelle, too.
