Portobello Mushrooms, Angel Hair Pasta, And Fresh† Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

2 cups Fresh Tomato Sauce [2]
1/2 pound angel hair pasta
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Emeril's Creole Seasoning [3]
1/4 cup olive oil
4 portobello mushrooms, each about 4 to 5 inches in diameter, rinsed and stemmed
1/2 cup coarsely grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Prepare the Fresh Tomato Sauce, and keep warm.
Meanwhile, combine the flour with the Creole Seasoning until thoroughly blended. Dredge the mushrooms thoroughly in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot and almost smoking, add the mushrooms, top side first, and sautÈ them until golden brown, for about 1 minute on each side. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain the pasta in a colander.
To serve, mound 1/2 cup of angel hair in each of 4 pasta bowls. Place 1 mushroom, top side up, on each portion of pasta. Nap with 1/2 cup of the sauce, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan.
