Hey all!!! I'm back! I took a bit of a hiatus (aka, was a bit lazy) from posting, but I'm still here and eating my way through new recipes and restaurants. Below is an adaptation of a recipe I saw in a magazine. So here's what happened - I was gettin' my hair did, reading a trashy mag, and in it was a recipe I wanted to try...I couldn't take the magazine with me, couldn't tear out the page, and the fumes from my hair potions prevented me from using common sense and taking a photo of the page with my phone....
So I ended up making this recipe from memory. I don't remember the magazine so I can't point you in the direction of the true recipe, but below is my version. It was pretty tasty, and Handsome really enjoyed it. Went for seconds AND thirds! Now that's a compliment - even think there was a burp in true thanks for my efforts. ;) I'm calling it - Asparagus, Peas, Sausage with Buitoni Ravioli. Creative, I know.
Asparagus, Peas and Sausage with Buitoni Ravioli
1 lb fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 in pieces
1/2 bag frozen peas
1/2 package polska kielbasa sausage (we used turkey kielbasa), cut into 1/4 inch, bite-sized rounds
1 pkg Buitoni Wild Mushroom Agnolotti
1 pkg spinach, or my fave, a mix of spinach and arugula
1-2 tbsp lemon zest, reserve lemon for juice if desired
shaved parmesan cheese (or use grated, we did cuz I had it)
In a large pot, boil water to cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, heat a skillet and saute the asparagus with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. When the asparagus is done, remove from the skillet and add the kielbasa. Saute until heated through and slightly brown/crispy.
Add the pasta to the water, cook to package directions. In the last 2-3 minutes of cooking the pasta, add the peas to the pot to cook. When pasta and peas are done, drain into a colander. Let cool slightly. I cut the pasta because it is kinda big, and I prefer a one bite kinda pasta.
On a plate, arrange lettuce, dress with a bit of lemon juice, olive oil and salt/pepper. Top with asparagus, peas, pasta, kielbasa, lemon zest and parmesan. Et voila! Dinner is served! It's soooooo yummy, but that's just my opinion.
