Pinterest Dinner

Good morning everyone. I hope you are staying warm. I can not believe it is snowing on March 24th and a snow storm expected this evening. Is anyone else tired of this weather? I know we don't get horrible weather, but it just seems to be dragging on and on this year. I could use a vacation to the beach! Given the colder than normal circumstances, I thought I would share a warm and flavorful dinner with you, if you are looking for a little comfort food. Drew and I have been trying to eat at home more often. In addition to that goal, I have also been trying to make more fresh meals - not frozen or packaged. Last night I made this delicious Spicy Sausage Pasta. (I substituted gluten-free pasta.)

It was full of flavor and super easy to make. And, the gluten-free pasta turned out fantastic too.

The ingredients aren't hard to find either and it doesn't call for a lot of pre work, if any - just chop and drop the ingredients in the skillet. The only changes I made from the recipe was I started using a skillet then transferred the meal into an oven safe dish and put it in our toaster oven to broil for a couple of minutes. 

I don't cook with sausage much, so it was a nice change of taste for us. Let me know if you try it! I hope you enjoy it.

Update: If you aren't a huge fan of sausage you could always add chicken instead. Or, if you are looking for a "meatless Monday" meal, I think black beans would be really good. You could also add more veggies, such as corn or bell peppers to give it more color and fiber. Those are just some ideas Drew and I were throwing around last night that I forgot to mention this morning.
