And a fantastic excuse to cook dinner a wealthy yummy Pasta with Spicy Sausage and Tomato Cream Sauce.
Trying on the forecast, “Luck” is what we want! Appears like a troublesome week right here in Nashville, the place these kind of storms come as soon as a decade.
Valentine’s Day has simply handed and I’m already trying ahead to our subsequent vacation…so utilizing our Good Luck Pasta was simply nice timing!
On a snow day, I normally make a batch of Ricotta Meatballs, Selfmade Gnocchi, and even Traditional Marinara, however right now I believed I’d attempt one thing easy and new. I had some spicy sausage frozen (leftover from my inventory the freezer run earlier this yr), and have been within the temper for a chunky, comforting tomato sauce.

The sauce will be made forward of time and reheated earlier than including pasta…or served on the facet! In the event you double the recipe, you may serve 10 folks no downside and I promise rave opinions!
