Is it just me, or are we eating a lot of pasta lately??
Thursday, I was five inches past exhausted. After he came home from work, Matt took Alex out to do some grocery shopping, and I went to bed. Just one of those days.
Just more proof of what a good man I married: I woke up to Matt announcing he'd made dinner.
Penne with Italian Sausage, Basil and Mustard. Uh...yum.
Just the slightest hint of a sauce...more of a flavoring, really. But nicely mustard-y, and a bit hot. That would be the crushed red pepper!
But honestly? Skip the basil. It's completely unnecessary.
Matt's a serious basil-addict, and even he said the dish would have been better without it. It couldn't compete with the mustard and the red pepper.
Still, pretty darn good. And as I didn't have to make it? Even better!

- Pasta, Sausage And Bean Ragout
With the arrival of the latest Bon Appetit (which has replaced Gourmet as my favorite foodie mag), we're trying lots of new dishes. One I made last week was Pasta, Sausage and Bean Ragout. Oh, yum. I mean, yum. What a fabulous dish. And...
