Rollie Favorite tomato Pasta
I love a quick easy pasta dish and so does my beautiful daughter! When I made this I originally thought about a cute simple date night pasta something you can cook that's easy and you still have enough time to get dressed. Well my daughter loved this pasta so much I decided to just call it Rollie favorite pasta. Because after all she is the best date a gal can ask for!
Ingredients
- 2 28 oz can of whole tomatoes
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup red wine any brand will do
- 8 cloves of fresh chopped garlic
- Fresh Basil
- 1 pound Ground turkey sausage You can use regular Italian sausage
- 1 cup freshly grated mozzarella
- 1 box penne pasta or whatever pasta you choose
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- a few shakes of red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions
- Take the sausage meat out of the casings , scramble the meat up with wooden spoon over medium-high heat until browned. (season with Italian seasoning )
- remove meat with spatula so that the oil from the meat is still in the skillet.
- add in the evoo to the skillet and the garlic and cook until garlic becomes fragrant
- while garlic is cooking In a large bowl pour the cans of whole tomatoes in a bowl using either your hands or a emulsion blender break those tomatoes down until they get to a consistency you would want.
- add your tomatoes to the skillet with garlic and fold over
- add in your preferred seasonings and your basil and the red wine
- bring to a simmer and fold in the cooked turkey sausage and the pasta
- fold all of the ingredients together and top with fresh mozzarella and re pepper flakes and parsley for a little color!
Notes
you can substitute the ground Italian turkey for regular Italian sausage
Also Instead of using an emulsion blender if you have older kiddos allow them to get their hands dirty and squeeze the life out of the tomatoes for a nice puree touch.
I hope you guys enjoy Rollies Favorite pasta.
