After a long day at work, home alone and not one inch of me wanting to shop or order take out resulted in this dish. Which I can say was easy, delicious and pretty, so naturally I fell in love and now make it all the time.
The best part of this dish is that it can be different every time. Keeping a box of pasta in your pantry at all times is a must for this reason! Then add in any veggies or protein you have for a quick satisfying bite.
What you need: (For this version)
- Box of your favorite pasta (gluten free or regular both work)
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 2 Italian sausages
- 1/2 red onion
- Shitake mushrooms
- Micro greens (topper)
- Cheese
- Salt, pepper, chili powder and chili flakes
What to do:
Pasta-
- Bring a large pot of water to boil
- Add salt
- Add pasta
- Drizzle a lil bit of olive oil and cook pasta for about 6 minutes (if gluten free) to al dente
In another saucepan:
- Drizzle olive oil and start to heat slivered red onions – on med-high
- Add in chopped up sausage after onions start to brown a lil
- Turn down heat to medium
- Then add in chopped shitakes
- Sprinkle salt and chili powder to liking (not too much cause you can always add more)
- Mix til everything looks about cooked and turn to low heat
- Throw in micro greens
Time to combine:
- Drain pasta and let it sit while all the mixings cook
- Add pasta back into the pot and add milk
- After the milk starts to boil and your pasta starts to get coated add in your toppings and mix til you get a good balance of everything in one bite
Serve with fresh herbs sprinkled on top and a pinch of cheese
