What an awesome day I had today meeting some new people and some bride-to-be's!!!   Maria and my self went and introduced Kitchen Fair to Florida---well, just a little piece in Florida--- actually those who were at the bridal event in Leesburg! LOL    BUT, people were astounded when they tasted the pineapple upside down cake and I told them it had NEVER been placed in an oven! Yup- stove top cooking ALL THE WAY!

But, today I wanted to offer you guys a new recipe that is healthy and makes you smile....

I found this in a cookbook I pulled out and it is a scrumptious recipe---

 Cheesy Pasta and Sausage SERVES 6-8 

 3 cups halved grape tomatoes, 
divided 1 large onion, 
sliced 1 pound smoked Italian sausage links, precooked
 20-30 basil leaves
 4 garlic cloves, finely diced 
1 pound dry linguine or pad thai noodles (rice)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper 
2 1/2 cups water
2 c chicken stock
 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

 Reserve (set aside) 1 cup halved tomatoes, 10 basil leaves and cheese. 

get dutch oven hot and sear your sausage.... put the rest of the ingredients in the pot and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to medium low and cover--- cook for about 10 mins until pasta is to your liking. Add cheese and remaining tomatoes and basil   I like to sprinkle some parsley on top and a bit of fresh ground pepper..... enjoy!!!
