Baby room has been painted this weekend and Jen is back from her girl’s trip to DC. I decided to make a dinner that wouldn’t take long to make but is still full of flavor. I didn’t even have to call Jen and ask if she wants pasta because that is the one thing she craves the most. This pasta dish takes 25 minutes so it is perfect for a weekday meal.

Let’s cook!

Sweet Sausage Pasta with Truffle Oil

1lb sweet Italian sausage

8oz dried pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 can of diced tomtoes, drained

1 cup baby bella mushrooms, sliced

1 teaspoon italian seasoning

1 teaspoon dried parsley

fresh grated parmesan cheese

white truffle oil

salt and pepper

Cook the sausage over medium heat on a large skillet.

Once brown, drain and return back to the skillet, add garlic and onion (this is a great time to start making your pasta).

Add diced tomatoes.

Add Italian seasoning and parsley.

Add mushrooms.

Cook until the mushrooms are tender.

Drain the pasta. Add the cooked pasta to the sausage.

Time to plate.

Time for the truffle oil which Jen gave me for Chirstmas.  How much truffle oil you add is really up to your taste.  We really like it, and this type of oil came in a spritzer bottle, so we added about 6 sprays of the truffle oil to the serving of pasta.

Add grated parmesan cheese and garlic bread and this meal is complete.

Here is the close-up:

Now you have a complete meal under 30 minutes which is packed with favor!

Happy Cooking!
