Brainy Egg Pappardelle Pasta from Rustichella d'Abruzzo ...

 


How can a simple pasta be so elegant? Well, this pasta can. Egg Pappardelle Pasta from Rustichella d'Abruzzo with Capers, Red Peppers and Tomato Garlic Sauce!

Yes, even with a long title like that this pasta dish is fast and frugal. To begin, you will need to buy or take from the pantry a package of wide egg noodles... preferably the 'Egg Pappardelle Pasta from Rustichella d'Abruzzo.

Next, you can use up any bacon (thick sliced) and breakfast sausage (very mild and I make my own using half ground pork with a mild sage flavored ground breakfast sausage). Begin by sauteing the  sausage in olive oil on med. heat until it crumbles.

Add to that, half a jar of drained capers, and one chopped roasted red pepper, one med can of diced tomatoes, dried herbs: rosemary, mint, sage and oregano along with garlic powder.

As the sauce simmers, start salted water to boil in which you will cook the pasta. Returning to the sauce in progress, add a little less than 1/4 cup of heavy cream to the sauce.



As a colorful and tasty side, fry a few spears of fresh green asparagus in 3 tbs of diced bacon in olive oil until blackened on edges. And, put out the grated Parmesan cheese...
