Pasta Selecta

 Headphones are Playing: Fleetwood Mac 

Tonight Danz and I had planned to cook pasta, one of our older recipe concoctions but this time with a twist.

I went to the local butcher for Italian Cheese&Tomato sausages. 

But I couldn't help myself & bought the Italian sausages too 

(for comparison to see if they were anything like the Italian sausages back in Italy). 

they weren't, but they were nice

Pasta of choice: Pennoni Giganti

The Classic - Tomato and Basil Italian Sausage.

Pasta #1 - Tomato and Basil Italian Sausage

I picked up a jar of my favourite pomodoro & basilico (tomato & basil) pasta sauce. 

The red sauce to compliment the Italian sausages. We thought best to keep this dish simple. Less is more! 

After the sausages had cooked through I poured the sauce over the top and let the sausage stew, adding a little bit of garlic and white wine to flavour.

The Experiment

Pasta #2 

Italian Cheese&Tomato sausages cooked with cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives and basil, tossed in a creamy white wine sauce and sprinkled with Parmigiano-Reggiano Formaggio 

Mum would have corrected me if I had just called it parmesan cheese.

The amount of pasta made was enough to feed 4-5 people.

And they both tasted delicious!

Buon Appetito!
