Yes, I owe you an apology. I am so very sorry it has been so long since I have blogged to you!!! Truly ridiculous, especially since my aunts and uncles all came to Richmond for Daddy's birthday and wanted to help me push this blog. they all agreed to help and visit and tell their friends cause THEY REALLY LOVED THE FOOD!!!!!
So, I am back and I am going to try very hard to be consistent in keeping you informed on all the great food I have been producing.
Today I made the best pasta sauce of my life! And it is only noon. And I already created , cooked and ate it!
I went to the Apple Store for my one to one lesson this morning, early... Not being a morning person I didn't eat before I left the house. while driving out to short pump, about a 40 minute drive, I started thinking about what I wanted to eat after class. it is cold and drizzly and so I wanted something warm... That is about as far as I got..,then on the way home all energized from learning all the millions of things my new iphone 4s could do, I started thinking food again.
First off, what do I have in the house that I can use? Fresh bratwurst, tomatoes, hummmm. Already sounds like a pasta sauce.. then I remembered this great sauce Daddy and I had in Mauritea, Italy. as I recall it was not thick and it was on angel hair and I remembered a hint of cinnamon. So... As soon as got home I went to work.
Pot of water with a splash of olive oil on the stove to boil. Skillet with half cup of water on med high... 2 bratwurst that I removed the skin casing and then put on skillet and smashed till it separated really well.
To that I added 1/4teas cinnamon 1/2 teas oregano, 1/2teas basil (or chop up a small bunch of fresh) 1/2teas beef bullion 1/2teas powdered garlic 1/2teas coarse ground sea salt 1/4teas red pepper flakes a drizzle of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter, stirring often, I THEN CUT UP 3 Roma tomatoes very fine, and added 2T of sundried tomatoes after I put them in the cuisinart with a little olive oil and puréed them.
I didn't have angel hair pasta so I used thin spaghetti.. Half a box. Cook for 6 minutes! Meanwhile I turned up the heat on the sauce to low high and kept stirring. When the pasta was done I drained it and tossed it a bit at a time into the sauce making sure to cover each strand till all was done. Served and grated fresh Parmesan Romano on it. YUMMMMMMMM.... This recipe serves 2 people easy.
I have loads of recipes for you, especially from Daddy's party. I will, I promise get to those later today or tomorrow at the latest. Oh I should take a photo of the pasta when I serve it to Daddy for his lunch!
Thanks for reading and I promise to do better. Tracey
