we have been busy lately so ended up having a lazy day. at trader joe's last week we picked up some cans of tomatoes and mini-ravioli. i thought it was just ok, by charley liked it. here's what i did:
combine in a large soup pot & simmer for 3 hrs:
- 2 14oz cans of diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1/2 jar fire roasted yellow and red peppers
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 7 cloves garlic, diced
- handful of fresh basil, chopped
- 1 1/2 jalapeno, chopped
- 2 chicken sausages, cases removed and crumbled
- 3 tbsp dried basil
- 3 tbsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp pepper
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika
when sauce is ready, boil water and add mini-raviolis. cook for 16 mins.
plate pasta with sauce and sprinkle with feta cheese and fresh basil.
charley:
it had wonderful balance of tastes and i felt it had a good flavor. a little spicy with good texture. since pasta can be prepared in so many different ways it always comes down to personal preference. for me this was a good meal!
enjoy!
Sounds good and simple - unfortunately Tom hates Feta so I would probably use another cheese!
