Ever watch Rachel Ray’s show where she makes a meal in 30 minutes? Don’t you wish you could only spend 30 minutes or less on a home cooked meal and still make a delicious dinner? Better yet, with leftovers that you can send to work with your husband or yourself that heats up just as good if not better than the original meal. I often get stressed out at dinner time – there just seems to be too much to do until bedtime – dinner, dishes, homework, laundry, reading, etc. Here is one of my homemade recipes that I often make for my family which everyone seems to enjoy. I call it my Sausage, Veggie & Pasta Dish. It doesn’t really need anything else with it, but you can serve it with a salad, fruit, or bread.
Sausage, Veggie & Pasta Dish
INGREDIENTS:
- smoked sausage – Hillshire Farms or Johnsonville – (we like the Polish Kielbasa)
- vegetables – (we like onions and green peppers)
- pasta – (we like thin spaghetti)
- butter, margarine or olive oil
- grate parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS:
- -slice assorted vegetables - green peppers, red peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, squash, etc
- -heat a couple of Tablespoons of butter, margerine or olive oil in a big frying pan
- -saute vegetables until soft
- -at the same time, boil a pot of water for the pasta
- -follow the directions on the pasta package and cook enough servings for your family
- -slice sausage into 1/4″ slices and add to vegetables
- -continue sauteing until the sausage is heated
- -drain pasta when done
- -add pasta in a serving dish, put the veggies & sausage on top, sprinkle with some Parmesan cheese
Enjoy!
