Sausage Pasta cooks up real quick and is a hearty meal-in-one or good as
a side dish. If you are a sausage lover you'll like this one!
1 - 2 links smoked sausage
1/2 med. onion sliced thin
1 Tbs. diced garlic
Handful of chopped bell pepper and green onions
Creole seasoning
Cream of mushroom soup (or your favorite)
Angel Hair Pasta (1" round)
1 tbs. butter (about)
Olive oil to coat bottom of pan
First put the water to boil for the pasta.
Cut
link of sausage in 3 then slice in 1/4" pieces (see note below). Sauté
onion a minute then add sausage. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Add garlic
Put the pasta to boil.
Add
cream of mushroom soup and 1 can of water. If you want a thicker
consistency use a half a can. Cover and cook on low fire until the soup
is well blended. Stir occasionally so it doesn't burn. Taste and add
seasoning as you see fit.
Raise fire and bring it to a boil for 30 seconds then lower fire back to
low.
Rinse
and drain cooked pasta and add to Soup mixture. Stir well and cover.
Cook on low fire for 5 minutes.
Adjust seasonings as you like. If it looks a little too thick add small
amounts of water until it's the consistency you like. Don't over thin
the soup.
Note: Depending on what kind of
sausage you use you may want to boil it separately on the side before
adding it to the pot. Some sausages have great amounts of grease in
them, and, some have heavy flavors. You'll have to experiment with this.
You can also use homemade sausage sliced regularly.
A little Andouille Bread
