Anyways, yesterday it was just one crazy day. I dropped the girls off at school, went back home to work - I work from home 4/5 days -, and got back up from my desk when it was time to get the girlies. No, no, no, I am not complaining all I am saying is that it has been that crazy of a day. So honestly, I really did not feel much like making dinner and going out sounded so much easier but I guess some time away from work was just needed. After snack was eaten, and homework was done the girlies and I headed to our favorite grocery store in town -> New Seasons's Market :) So we decided on pasta with sausage, the additions came to my mind as I was making dinner...
And yes, Ron seemed surprised when he came home and saw that dinner was in the making....
Pasta with Sage Sausage, Pea Shoots & Capers
- 1 lb of your favorite pasta - cook according to directions
- 1 lb bulk sage sausage {or your favorite sausage}
- 1 shallot diced
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1/3 C white wine
- 1/3 C Wildwood Creamer
- 2 tsp. Chef's Shake by The Spice Hunter
- 3 Tb Capers
- Salt & Pepper to taste {red pepper flakes I added mine to my plate as the rest of my family does not like them}
- 1/2 C grated Parmesiano Regiano {optional}
- 2 C chopped Pea Shoots
- Cook pasta according to directions - while cooking make the sausage
- In a dry pan fry sausage until crumbly. Drain the oil from the pan and set cooked sausage aside,
- In the same pan {you will have some grease left over} sauté the shallot and garlic for a couple of minutes, before adding the sausage back in to the pan. Mix well, then
- Add white wine, creamer and the spices. Cook for about five minutes or so until liquid is reduced,
- Add capers, salt and pepper then,
- Add cooked pasta and mix everything well, next
- Add Parmesiano Regiano {if using} also mix it up well
- Just before serving top with the chopped pea shoots and mix it all up.
Serve with either a big salad, or roasted veggies!
Enjoy!
