Pasta With Smoked Sausage In Tomato Sauce Recipe

Delicious angel hair pasta with jalapeno smoked sausage and vegetables in tomato sauce recipe for dinner🍴

What you will need:

Angel hair pasta (or any other kind), smoked sausage (polska kielbasa, or any kind of smoked sausage will be suitable too). I had a pecan smoked jalapeno sausage from Aldi.

A half of medium size onion, 1 bell pepper, 3-4 mushrooms, 1 jar of pasta sauce.

How to make it:

Cut smoked sausage into small rounds.

Fry it without oil over medium heat, stirring often for even cooking.

When you see it’s browned on all sides, it’s done.

Then I put it on a plate lined with paper towel to get rid of some grease.

Meanwhile, boil water in a separate pot, add pasta and boil it for 12-14 mins until done.

Cut all of the veggies and fry them on olive oil over medium heat (in a bigger pot).

Once veggies are cooked, add sausage to the pot.

Then add the whole jar of pasta sauce.

Add seasonings.

I added salt, garlic powder, basil, minced onion, black pepper, chives, paprika and garlic&herb seasoning blend.

Stir, cover and let it simmer for 7-10 mins over medium-low heat.

Then grain pasta and add to the pot.

Stir all well.

Let it sit covered for 10-15 mins, then serve and enjoy😊

Meatballs With Vegetables In Creamy Tomato Sauce Recipe

Delicious meatballs and vegetables in creamy tomato sauce recipe for dinner😊

What you will need:

Homestyle meatballs (I like the ones from Walmart).

3 medium size carrots, 4 small or medium tomatoes, a half of medium size onion, a half of regular size green (or any kind like red, orange) bell pepper, 3-4 mushrooms.

6oz can of tomato paste and some sour cream.

How to make it:

Place desired amount of meatballs in a baking pan (I use cake pan lined with foil).

Bake for 20-25 mins on 350F until all are evenly hot.

Peel and cut carrots, start frying over medium heat on olive oil. Meanwhile prepare other vegetables.

After about 5 mins, add cut onion.

Then pepper and mushrooms.

When all the veggies are almost done, add cut tomatoes.

Add some seasonings. I added salt, black pepper, some crushed red pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, basil leaves.

Simmer all on medium-low heat for 5-6 mins until tomatoes are soft.

Then add the whole can of tomato paste.

Pour water in the same can and add to the pot. 

Do it 2 times 

So total you add 2 cans of water.

Stir to mix tomato paste with water until you see an even consistency.

Then add 4 tablespoons of sour cream.

Mix all together.

After that I would usually add more seasonings (same as first time) for the extra flavor.

Stir and add cooked meatballs.

Make sure all of the meatballs are covered with sauce.

Turn off the heat, cover and let it sit for 10-15 mins before serving.

Serve it over cooked rice..

..or mashed potatoes😉
