Now, I can't take complete credit for coming up with these on my own. Most recipes I *steal* from recipe finder websites, such as RecipeZaar, Recipes4Living, and MyRecipes. A couple I found on other blogs. I tend to adjust each recipe slightly to our liking, and I suggest you do the same if you feel like it. Still, I will do my best to link to the original recipe or blog as to credit the original recipe maker!
So, here is...
Favorite Meal #1: Broccoli-Sausage Pasta
Let's start with the end in mind...
Mmmmmmmm!
Ingredients:
1/4 C of Olive Oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small red onion, sliced thin (use your Santoku knife!)
1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (more or less depends on how spicy you want it!)
1lb package of smoke sausage (beef or turkey), sliced and quartered
8 oz of short cut pasta, such as penne or rigatoni
Shredded or grated parmesan cheese
Heat olive oil in a large skillet with high sides on medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft, 2-3 minutes. Meanwhile, fill pot with water and start heating it up for the pasta. Slice and quarter the sausage. Add sausage to skillet and cook an additional 3-4 minutes. Meanwhile, cut broccoli into florets. Put pasta in water to cook. Add the broccoli and red pepper flakes to the skillet and toss. Continue cooking 8-10 minutes until pasta is ready. Drain pasta, but reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water. Add cooked pasta and reserved water to skillet. Heat 2-3 more minutes. Serve topped with parmesan cheese.
Hope you like it! This recipe originated from a blog called Peace, Love and French Fries. You will see this meal in my plans about once (maybe twice) a month because we love it so much.
Be on the look out for the next recipe coming at you this weekend!
