Pasta with Sausage, Spinach and Tomato

Another night of what to do for dinner?   Had the sausage but no onion or peppers, so a quick look around and I came up with this idea which came out quite well.

Ingredients for Pasta with sausage, spinach and tomatoes

  1. 8 sweet sausage
  2. 1 pound bag frozen spinach well drained and chopped
  3. 1 can diced tomato well drained
  4. 1 pound pasta your choice
  5. 3 -4 garlic cloves sliced
  6. 1 Tbs hot pepper flakes
  7. 1 cup reserved pasta water or
  8. 1/2 cup chicken stock
  9. Olive oil

Directions for pasta, sausage, spinach and tomato

In a large fry pan cook and brown the sausage.  Once cooked let the sausage rest for 10 -15 minutes before cutting into coin slices.

Cook the pasta and while the pasta is cooking put the sausage back into the fry pan add the spinach tomato and garlic and about 8 Tbs Olive oil and cook until garlic is softened and the other ingredients are heated through.

Drain the pasta, add back to the pot then add all the other ingredients and stir to combine thoroughly.  If it looks to dry add some of the pasta water, chicken stock or more Olive oil.

 OK well I’m in the dog house, seeing as I did get up on my tippy toes and managed to pull this interestingly smelling red and white thing off the tree.  It did smell pepperminty but didn’t taste so good, but I did growl at dad when he took it away from me.  Merry Christmas to all, and I’ll be dreaming of Roast Beef not sugar plums!

Peanut Butter Cookies

In our family traditional Christmas cookies are nontraditional.  We have for years made our Scottish Shortbread Cookies:  http://www.rantsravesandrecipes.com/worlds-best-shortbread-cookie-recipe, and Peanut Butter Cookies.  Both are fairly easy to make and both are absolutely delicious.

Ingredients for Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. 1 cup butter softened
  2. 1 cup peanut butter
  3. 1 cup granulated sugar
  4. 1 cup brown sugar
  5. 2 eggs
  6. 1 tsp vanilla
  7. 1 tsp salt
  8. 1 tsp baking soda
  9. 3 cups all purpose flour

Directions for Peanut Butter Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°

In the bowl of the mixer cream the butters. Once creamed beat in the sugars.  Add the eggs and vanilla and combine completely, then add the dry ingredients.  You should end with a stiff dough like for drop cookies.

Using a tablespoon or a # 60 scoop place batter onto a ungreased baking pan or one lined with a silpat.  Press to flatten with the floured back of a fork in a criss cross pattern.

 Since this is Christmas, I add a few red, white and green Christmas sprinkles to make them a little more festive.

Bake for 12- 15 minutes and remove from oven allowing them to cool and firm up for a minute or two on the pan, before placing them on a wire rack to cool completely.

Store in an air tight container for up to 2 weeks, but don’t store with other cookies or the peanut flavor will be absorbed by the others.
