I have been scrounging around in my kitchen because I do not have the motivation to do a full grocery hull even though I should. Instead, I have been attempting to make new creations out of the ingredients I have and this may be one of my favorite things I have come up with. This cracked pepper pasta is perfect for a weeknight meal or meal prep for the week! This recipe is written out as a single serving as I am a single person so feel free to tweak as needed!

Ingredients

  • 1 Serving Pasta of your choosing, cook per package instructions
  • 1 Hot Italian Sausage Link
  • 1.5 TBSP Black Pepper Boursin Cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Spinach
  • 1 TBSP Sun-Dried Tomatoes
  • 1/2 Cup Reserved Pasta Water
  • Salt + Pepper

Let’s Get Cooking

Cook your pasta per package instructions, reserve 1/2 Cup of pasta water.

In a large skillet brown your sausage, making sure to break it down into small pieces. Once mostly browned add in the 1 TBSP of sun-dried tomatoes.

When the sausage is fully cooked add in the reserved pasta water + 1/2 cup spinach and cook until the spinach is wilted. Stir in the 1.5 TBSP of bourisn cheese and simmer until the sauce as thicked.

Stir in your pasta and ensure that it is fully coated.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Spicy Sardines Pasta

I am mad at myself for being so late on the tinned fish game. I had these spicy sardines from the Tinned Fish Market and pasta sounded like the perfect thing to add them to. This recipe comes from Crafty Cooking Mama and it turned out great! With it just being me the sauce made enough for left overs for the next night! Feel free to use whatever kind of sardines you like, I used spicy ones to add an extra kick.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Onion, minced
  • 3 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 4 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 1/4 Cup White Wine
  • 3 Cups Crushed Tomates
  • 1 TSP Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 TSP Dried Basil
  • 1/2 TSP Salt
  • 1/2 TSP Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 TSP Dried Parsley
  • 3 Sardines + a little oil from the tin
  • Spaghetti of your choice
  • Salt + Pepper

Let’s Get Cooking

Heat olive oil in a large skillet.

Saute the onions until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add in the garlic and saute for a minute. Add in the white wine and scrape the pan to deglaze.

Add in the crushed tomatoes + red pepper + basil + salt + oregano + parsley and simmer covered for about 15-20 min.

Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/4 Cup of the pasta water and add to the sauce.

After simmering, add in the sardines + a little of the oil and simmer on low for about 10 min, use your spatula to break up some of the sardines. Add more red pepper if needed.

Add in the pasta and stir well to combine.

Plate & enjoy!
