When all else fails…

…just have some pasta.

We got back from England on Tuesday and wanted something fairly fast that evening for dinner which usually means some kind of pasta dish.  We had some bell peppers to harvest (almost November!!) and there is usually a few sausages in the freezer (either Toulouse or chorizo) so that was that.  Fry the sausage in chunks with chopped peppers and onion.  When the edges take on some colour add a mix of chopped sage, rosemary and parsley as well as a minced clove of garlic and a few chili flakes.  Add a splash of wine and a tin of tomatoes and you have yourself a great sauce simmering for your pasta.

Lunch the next day was the rest of our sweet potato soup we made the other day  and in the evening we struggled to be inspired by anything other than pasta once again.  Derek was having back problems and John was trying to shake off a cold so we opted for something very fast.   Earlier that day we bought some tasty, fresh tortellini filled with spinach and ricotta and popped open a jar of good pesto.  Hassle free and tasty.

Is there anything pasta can’t do?
