There are so many times when I get unexpected company for
dinner.
That is not a
complaint! I love to have guests.
That being said, I feel the constant need to be prepared.
That means, always having bacon in the house
just in case someone stops by for breakfast.
That also means, always having a good bottle of wine and
necessary ingredients for a yummy dinner on hand.
This recipe for Pasta with Sausage & Mushrooms is
something I invented on accident.
…and am I glad I made
that mistake! It’s a family dinner time
favorite and very quick to prepare.
I’ve made it for several different guests on different
occasions, and I always get sincere compliments.
This is a definite do for unexpected dinner guests.
Pasta with Sausage
& Mushrooms
Ingredients:
(1-1/2) Pounds Cheese and Parsley Sausage Ring (Cut into
bite size cubes.)
(2) Packages Cleaned & Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms
(1) Can Diced Tomatoes
(1) Cup White Cooking Wine
(1) Large Onion (Diced)
(1) Cup Olive Oil
(1) Tbsp Garlic Powder
(1) Tbsp Dried Basil Leaves
Salt & Pepper to taste
(1-1/2) Pounds Barilla Medium Shells Pasta
Pecorino Romano Grated Cheese
In a large skillet, heat up half of the olive oil. Add the onions and cook until they are
translucent. Add the mushrooms to the onions
and cook until half the natural water evaporates (about 10 minutes on medium
heat). Meanwhile, in a separate pan,
heat up the second half of the olive oil and brown the cut up sausage. Shut off the flame and let sit on the
side. Add the white wine to the
mushrooms and let cook for about 2 minutes.
Mix the sausage into the large skillet and add the can of diced tomatoes
(drained) and all of the listed seasonings.
Let cook for an additional 15 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring
occasionally.
In a separate pot, boil the pasta until it’s al dente.
Mix together and serve.
Garnish with a sprinkle of Pecorino Romano grated cheese on top.
Hint: Scoop from the bottom of the serving bowl to
evenly distribute the juices.
What is your go to
meal for unexpected dinner guests?
I do love me shrooms, I've made a filo pastry roll with them, yoghurt and red onions yesterday and still have some for lunch today as well
ReplyDeleteMushrooms are one of my favorite foods as well. I love them! I never understood why people skeeved them...well, except for the whole growing on manure thing. Isn't that why they created fruit and veggie cleaner??? haha
DeleteI heard most great inventions were actually invented by accident. I guess that goes for pasta dishes as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is true! You got to use what you have when people just pop over...
DeleteI don't think we've ever had an uninvited dinner guest. Guess they'd figure they wouldn't get fed showing up randomly.
ReplyDeleteLMAO! Maybe I should hide all of the food whenever people come. Eventually they may just stop coming... lol
Deletehaha I eat nothing much at all, so any random guests better bring their own food. Not that I have ever had any unannounced guests since university.
ReplyDeleteYou've never had an unannounced guest???? I may need to just pop up one day and scare the crap out of you. And, no worries, I'll bring a gluten free pizza! :)
Deletelol nope, no unannounced guests in 8 years or so. You'll have to find me first lol
DeleteA Jax original recipe! Yum! It sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt really is yummy!! Its part of the reason my belly isn't flat anymore. Haha
DeletePizza. Maybe Chinese food. We don't have the space to prepare enough food for guests. Once we move, it'll probably be spaghetti or shrimp scampi, maybe chicken rice and broccoli. It'll depend on what we have on hand.
ReplyDeleteShrimp scampi sounds sooooo yummy actually!!
DeleteWe never get guests. There's just certain houses that never get the guests and we're one of them :P
ReplyDeleteNo guests?? Well that's ok because your mother probably enjoys not having to cook for 10 just in case someone pops by!!! Haha
Deletenice! that sounds yum! I, for one, with my small fridge- would be ill-prepared for unexpected dinner guests! This is a good idea!
