Christmas Recipe
Christmas Life Pasta
INGREDIENTS
Olive oil
1 whole garlic (chopped)
2 medium red onions (chopped)
Approximately 280g of red, green, and yellow bell peppers (chopped)
800g canned crushed tomatoes
600g Italian sausage. If accessible, get the one that will fall apart when you
remove the casing (it will look like ground meat). Next best option is to chop
regular Italian sausages.
400g canned mushrooms
2 beef bouillon
300g Nestle cream
175 g shredded mozzarella
Herbs: parsley, basil, and oregano (fresh is preferred but dried can be used
as well)
Salt and pepper
Freshly grated parmesan cheese
Spaghetti or fusilli
OPTIONAL ADJUSTMENTS
You can also use fresh tomatoes if you have the time and patience to cook
from scratch!
Canned mushrooms can be replaced by fresh button mushrooms.
As this is one of my guesstimate dishes, its really super flexible as you can
add more tomatoes or cream to make it more saucy, lessen the Italian
sausages if you want it less meaty, etc.
STEPS
1 Saute garlic and onion in olive oil. Add bell peppers and mushrooms.
2. Transfer to a bowl.
3. Saute the Italian sausage.
4. When the Italian sausage is cooked through, add the tomatoes, herbs, and the beef bouillion. Bring to a boil, then let it simmer on low heat until sauce has slightly thickened.
5. Add back the cooked garlic, onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
6. Add cream and shredded mozzarella.
7. Add salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve on pasta with a sprinkling of fresh grated parmesan cheese.
