Pasta and Bread

I am very happy that it is Friday night. What a week.

I am typing this as I am wearing a knee brace. It might be a sprain or it might be a torn muscle. Stay tuned...

This dinner was all about comfort food. My favorite homemade pasta recipe, thankfully already made and in the freezer. The zucchini was thinly sliced and sauteed in olive oil and butter. I saved a cup of the pasta water and put the cooked pasta in the pan with the zucchini. Added more butter and parmesan cheese. Slowly stirring the pasta to mix and adding the pasta water as needed. It is basically the Fettucini Alfredo recipe I make with sauteed zucchini added.

The bread was a gift from Mary Capazzo. Her husband is Mario of Mario's BEST Breads.  This was perfect for dinner. The crust was crunchy and the bread was absolutely delicious.

Sausage, Zucchini and Pasta

This was a quick meal to put together. I sauteed sausage in olive oil until sausage was browned. I added sliced zucchini, yellow squash, onions and cook until the squash was caramelized. I seasoned it with salt and pepper. I had some left over grilled onions, peppers, tomatoes and zucchini from last night. Into the sauce they went. I added some butter and then some white wine. From the pasta pan I added about 1/4 cup of water. Added the pasta to the saute pan to finish cooking. Wow. A perfect meal for the end of a crazy week.

It may have been a crazy week but at least I have the handsomest kitty!
