OH how scary the weather has been the past two days. Tornadoes, flooding, thunderstorms, the damage is unbelievable. My thoughts and prayers go out to those that are suffering from damage across the south. We always underestimate the damage will be when a storm approaches. We have a "that will never happen to me" attitude. After hearing from friends of friends who have lost their houses, I stop and remember how precious our life is. Take these storms seriously and remember it is always better to be safe than sorry! Hubs and I were in the bathroom at 2:00 AM huddled around our dogs praying the tornado wouldn't hit. We were so lucky and the storm passed on by with no damage, but I know other areas were not.
Pasta is always something I tend to go to when the weather is gloomy outside. It is one of those meals that just makes you feel good. Not to mention every time Hubs comes home and sees pasta on the counter he gets ecstatic! What can I say, I strive to make Hubs happy. Lets make some pasta!
I use almond milk in this recipe. As always, feel free to reach for dairy milk if you want!
Go To Sausage Pasta
GF/DF
Ingredients:
1 box (8 oz) gluten free pasta (I used penne)
1 pound ground sausage (I used pork)
1/2 red onion
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes (check for gluten!!)
1/2 - 1 t crushed red pepper
1 1/2 t dried basil
1 cup almond milk
salt to taste
1 box frozen chopped spinach
What to do:
Cook your pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Dice your onion.
Grab a large, deep skillet. You really need a skillet with high sides so your yumminess doesn't spill over the edge!
Add your sausage into your skillet.
Using a wooden spatula, break up the sausage and brown over medium heat until no longer pink.
Toss in your onion and sauté until slightly translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add in your crushed tomatoes and stir everything together.
Season with your crushed red pepper, salt, and basil and give everything a good stir.
Add in your almond milk, stir, and bring to a slight simmer for about 15 minutes.
While your sauce flavors are marrying, get your spinach defrosted. I just popped it in the microwave on defrost for about 3 minutes, Squeeze out any excess liquid.
Lay your spinach between paper towels and press down removing as much water as you can.
Toss your spinach into the tomato sauce on the stove and stir it all together.
Finally, add your cooked pasta into your sauce and stir.
Grab a fork and fill your belly! Per usual, Gunner had is eyes on the prize.
Thanks Y'all!
