It’s nonetheless a day at house…and one would assume after nearly a 12 months of “keep at house” coronavirus days/nights/weekends, this present day wouldn’t section us…BUT we’re STILL excited– a DIFFERENT cause to remain house!
And a terrific excuse to cook dinner a wealthy yummy Pasta with Spicy Sausage and Tomato Cream Sauce.

Valentine’s Day has simply handed and I’m already wanting ahead to our subsequent vacation…so utilizing our Good Luck Pasta was simply nice timing!
On a snow day, I normally make a batch of Ricotta Meatballs, Selfmade Gnocchi, and even Basic Marinara, however as we speak I believed I’d attempt one thing easy and new. I had some spicy sausage frozen (leftover from my inventory the freezer run earlier this 12 months), and have been within the temper for a chunky, comforting tomato sauce.

The sauce may be made forward of time and reheated earlier than including pasta…or served on the facet! For those who double the recipe, you may serve 10 folks no downside and I promise rave opinions!
