Good evening,
Tonight I was expecting a friend for dinner, however she cancelled. I have had a tomato sauce cooking all day with onion, hot Italian sausage, tomatoes and roasted red peppers. I made rotini noodles, covered them with the sauce. Then I covered the pasta and sauce with amazing assortment of cheeses...
Tonight's Sauce
-2 pounds roma tomatoes, peeled
-1 onions chopped
-2 cloves of garlic minced
-3 roasted red peppers from a jar
-4 hot Italian Sausages, casing removed (from the Healthy Butcher)
-in a sauce pan place roma tomatoes peeled, (I blanch them). Then add hot Italian Sausage with casing removed, and onions. allow to simmer all day. I boiled pasta and placed in a casserole dish, I covered with the sauce and placed grated mozzarella cheese, and then I used up some taco cheese mix. I placed in the over for 30 minutes and then on broil for a few minutes to brown the cheese
Alfredo Sauce with Artichoke Hearts and Roasted Red Peppers
-1 jar of artichoke hearts (drained)
-1/2 jar of roasted red peppers (drained)
-1 onion chopped
-1 portebello mushroom (tonight i didn't have)
-1 jar of Pre-made Alfredo (was in a rush)
-1 tablespoon curry powder
-1/2 teaspoon chili powder
-fresh lemon
-in a frying pan I fried chopped onions with a small amount of olive oil, if I had mushrooms would have added at this point. Once the onions were cooked and translucent I added the roasted red peppers, the artichoke hearts, I allowed them to cook and using a wooden spoon I chopped them up while cooking into bit size pieces. I then poured in the Alfredo sauce, to ensure all the sauce was out of jar I add milk to it and shake it. I let it simmer for a while and then I added the curry and chili powder. I served with the pan fried chicken and just before I ate my plate I used a little fresh lemon which adds freshness and cuts the fat.
