Stepping in Tonight ~ Brainy Guy 'Food'

Yep, tonight the Brainy Gourmet takes a break. Which means, its me, the Brainy Guy from 'Brainy Guy' Food blog. And yep, you're right again if you think I am married to the Brainy Gourmet. I wish I could take my sweetie out to dinner but she cooks better than most restaurants. So, once in awhile, I cook for her. Tonight's dish, Italian sausage sandwich with left over spaghetti bolognese. Since, I am a 'sammy' kind of guy... I can of course make a pretty good sandwich.

I prefer to buy Italian sausage in bulk which means not in the casing. It cooks faster and still remains juicy. Get some olive oil going in a skillet, pat out your sausage in an oblong shape and lay in the patties when the oil starts to sizzle. Sprinkle on some dried herb seasoning and let em cook. Once browned on both sides, cover and simmer for 10 min. on low heat. Prepare bread or sandwich rolls by toasting in the oven or toaster oven. Have some mozzarella cheese ready to melt on the patties once they are cooked through. As the rolls come out of the toaster, press them down into the juices in the skillet where the patties still simmer. Then, turn off the heat, make a sandwich and get happy. Oh, and lastly, microwave the left over spaghetti.
