I have to give my mom credit for this recipe. She made it for me and my sisters back in the day and added her own twists to make it what it is today.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8XnVK7CERZ0/TxCgzUHtAOI/AAAAAAAAAD4/WlWq_RwNCuU/s1600/n15602774_31536354_1876.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8XnVK7CERZ0/TxCgzUHtAOI/AAAAAAAAAD4/WlWq_RwNCuU/s320/n15602774_31536354_1876.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Me and my Mama</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> This recipe is a family staple that everyone loves! I have yet to meet someone that told me they didn't like it. Below is the recipe, a link to print it, and some notes. I would love to hear any feedback or suggestions!<br /> <br /> <h3 align="left" id="sites-page-title-header"> <span dir="ltr" id="sites-page-title">Sausage, Tomato, and Cream Bowtie Pasta</span></h3> <h3 align="left" id="sites-page-title-header"> <span dir="ltr" id="sites-page-title"><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/haughtladyrecipes/home/bowtie-pasta-recipe?tmpl=%2Fsystem%2Fapp%2Ftemplates%2Fprint%2F&amp;showPrintDialog=1">(Printable Recipe)</a>&nbsp;</span></h3> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hF8k1Uo0ZCw/TxCfSjuQaAI/AAAAAAAAADw/xLS-LuLppMs/s1600/DSCF6267.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hF8k1Uo0ZCw/TxCfSjuQaAI/AAAAAAAAADw/xLS-LuLppMs/s320/DSCF6267.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <h3 align="left" id="sites-page-title-header"> <span dir="ltr" id="sites-page-title">&nbsp;</span> </h3> <u>Ingredients:</u><br /> 2 Tbsp Olive oil<br /> 1 lb. Mild Italian Sausage (<i>if in casings, just cut open and remove the ground meat mixture from casings</i>)<br /> 1 small onion, chopped<br /> 3 cloves garlic, diced<br /> 1 - 28 oz can diced tomatoes, drained<br /> 1+1/2 cups heavy cream<br /> 1/2 tsp salt<br /> 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes<br /> 3 Tbsp Parsley (<i>dried or fresh - use a little more if fresh</i>)<br /> 1 - 12 oz pkg Bowtie pasta<br /> <br /> <u>Directions:</u><br /> Heat olive oil in large pan. Brown sausage in pan, then add onions and garlic. Saute until onions are tender (<i>be careful not to burn garlic</i>). Add tomatoes, cream, salt, and red pepper flakes. Simmer while pasta cooks (<i>usually about 12 minutes on most packaged pastas</i>). Then add parsley at last minute. After draining pasta, combine the pasta and cream sauce. Enjoy!<br /> <br /> Notes:<br /> <ul> <li> For a slightly healthier version, substitute evaporated milk for heavy cream. (Warning: if you use regular milk, the sauce may be soupier... still tasty, just more liquid)</li> <li>You can also substitute chicken or turkey sausage for the Italian sausage. Chicken sausage comes in some unique flavors, so just be sure to pick ones that would go along with the rest of the ingredients in this recipe (I use sundried tomato chicken sausage from Harris Teeter)</li> <li>I have never tried this, but I am sure you can make it vegetarian. You could probably just leave out the meat, substitute tofu, or maybe a hearty veggie. Vegetarians: let me know what you think! </li> </ul> Goes great with a caesar salad, garlic bread, and a nice red wine! I have a killer caeser salad dressing too... stay tuned...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3113137667810869441-8282979265626921075?l=haughtlady.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>K.Haughthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09697732069294090589noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3113137667810869441.post-59265861692478385622012-01-13T11:41:00.000-08:002012-01-13T11:48:29.815-08:002012-01-13T11:48:29.815-08:00After seeing and reading other peoples blogs for a while now - especially more recently with my new addiction to Pinterest - I have decided to start my own!<br /> <br /> Here you will find recipes, house projects/tips, stories, videos, and anything else I feel like posting. I do not claim to be an expert in anything, but I thought it would be fun to start sharing my experiences as I navigate my way through my quarterlife life. I have fun with everything I do and hope you will find the things I share helpful and/or entertaining. Enjoy!<br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3113137667810869441-5926586169247838562?l=haughtlady.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>K.Haughthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09697732069294090589noreply@blogger.com0
