Wow, I cannot believe that it has been eighteen days since I last posted on my blog. Despite my intentions of posting regularly, fatherhood and trying to get my new company off to a solid start have pretty much gobbled up any free time that I had.
This past Saturday I had the pleasure of having my wife and daughter with me at the North Union Farmer's Market. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello and a special thanks to those who purchased(the baby needs diapers:)) some of our local/organic bakery. As a proud dad I enjoyed showing Margarete off to all the wonderful customers and fellow vendors.
With the new time constrictions, I have started to come up with some quick, easy and delicious meals made with the fantastic products I am getting from the market. Here is a quick pasta dish I made the other night.
Spaghetti with Italian Sausage, Oyster Mushrooms and Arugula
serves 4
1 pound dry spaghetti
1 pound Italian sausage, from Sirna's Farm & Market
1 cup Arugula, from(sorry, I can't remember their names, but they sell all kinds of wonderful tasting lettuces)
8 oz oyster mushrooms from Killbuck Vally
1 ½ cups bottled, organic pasta sauce. (I used organic Prego,)
1 Tablespoon olive oil
salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
- Cook the penne until al dente, about 8 minutes and drain.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet with the olive oil, add the sausage and brown on all sides. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes, add the pasta sauce and cover skillet with a lid and cook until the sausage is done, about 10 minutes.
Add pasta and arugula to the skillet, season with salt, black pepper and rep pepper flakes.
- Serve and enjoy.
