You can take the girl out of Italy, but you can't take Italy out of the girl.

I was completely happy to have a waste-of-a-day today. I was enjoying being wrapped up in my sheets, doing nothing for as long as possible... and then I got restless. For some reason the urge to cook overcame me. I decided to make some hardcore pasta sauce. I did NOT mess around on this one! I started off with tomato sauce and added Hot Italian Sausage & ground beef. While that simmered a bit, I sauteed fresh thinly sliced garlic, mushrooms & onions. When that was perfectly oozing yummy smells I added it to my sauce, along with special herbs and spices. I boiled up some whole wheat angel hair, and rocked some parmesan garlic bread, to top it all off. It may not look like much, but I promise, it's a flavor fiesta in the mouth!!! This is not a sauce for the vegetarian or vegan friend, but for those meat eaters I know (and love), let me know when you want to come over for some of Mamma Salvadori's sweet sweet tasty pasta goodness!
