Brian's Pasta
Ingredients
* Your favorite sausage (I prefer a spicy chicken sausage)
* Pasta of choice (works best with Ziti or Rigatoni
* sliced garlic
* EV Olive Oil
* String Beans
* small cherry tomatoes on the vine
* Chopped fresh Basil
* Chopped Parsley
* Sea Salt, crushed black pepper, freshly ground hot pepper
* bit of wineOK, bring the pasta to a boil. You can do that, right? Salt in the water, no oil. Meanwhile, slice the sausage and sautee that in a pan with a bit of olive oil. Just brown them a bit on both sides. Remove and place aside. add some more olive oil and throw in the sliced garlic, chopped basil, cook for a bit, but before it browns (golden or otherwise) throw in the string beans (I usually chop them so they're about 1 inch in length). stir until the garlic gets goldeny brown and the string beans get a bit translucent. A few minutes. Remove this from the pan. Now place the cherry tomatoes, on the vine into the pan, drizzle a wee (and I mean wee) bit of olive oil on them and sea salt and let them just cook up up in the pan there for a few. Don't even turn them. Nothing. When they start to split just a bit they're ready and you can put the whole thing together.
So, plate the pasta with the sauasage, garlic, basil & string beans, apply sea salt, bit of black pepper and a general application of the hot pepper flakes (I like mine hot). Top with the now pan roasted cherry tomatoes, garnish with a touch of chopped parsley, drizzle just a bit of fresh olive oil on the top to get that good EV olive oil flava and serve with wine of choice.
Delicious, easy, quick and nutritious.
