Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Stroganoff ~ With Sausage Meatballs Alla Vodka

Price per serving for two: $ 2. 25

You will need to buy a package of Italian sausage without casing.  Also, stroganoff or even penne pasta, champion mushrooms, sun dried tomato pesto and vodka. Of course, this last item can be omitted.

To begin. saute formed balls of with bulk Italian or Andouille sausage in a skillet of olive oil, about 3 tbs. Once browned, I add sliced champion mushrooms and stir together on med. heat. As the mushrooms cook, you can add 1/4 cup of sun dried tomato pesto or 4-5 tbs. Stir until the mix of sausage, mushrooms with pesto is bubbly. Then add 2 tbs of vodka, stirring and lastly, 1/3 cup of heavy cream. Finally, add a sprinkling of rosemary, basil and oregano. Cover and simmer on low heat for 8 min.
Boil enough water with a pinch of salt for as much pasta as you need. As it begins to roll, add your pasta.

When it is tender, drain and ladle into a large low lipped serving platter and pour on your sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs and put some grated parmesan on the table.

Like my Nonna used to say, Tutti tavola!

Dinner’s ready! (Everyone to the table!)
