Sir Eat Alot loves his pasta… So I’m always experimenting new ways of cooking up a wonderful concoction of different ingredients… I still have not replenished my fridge yet, so there’s only one place to look for inspiration… the FREEZER!!! As I was going through my freezer, the Italian sausages I bought from Mr Ho’s fine foods caught my eye… Hmm… I’m sure I can whip up something quick with the leftover cream I have before I left for the short holiday… That’s the thing I hate about dairy products… I never get to finish ‘em up before the expiry date… The cream label says that it can be kept for up to 7 days in the fridge… so it’s still good… at least for today!!!
Now that I’ve got the carbs and meat… I need some veggie to complete the meal… So, I thawed some frozen spinach and blanched them quickly in hot water… Here’s what I did to create the dish above for 2:
- Sauté 1/2 a white onion and a chopped chili (for colour) with some butter in a saucepan.
- Remove sausage meat from its casing, crumble and add into the pan. Sauté for a few mins, then deglaze with some chicken stock.
- Let the sauce evaporate a bit and then add 50ml cream and the blanched spinach.
- Add in cooked penne (al dente) and toss with the sauce. Add in 2-3 tblsp parmesan cheese and sauté for 1 min. Serve with extra grated parmesan cheese and cracked black pepper.
Voila!!! Dinner is served…
