Illini -

With those chickens he'll have surgery twice - wish him a speedy recovery for us!

 

We use them for a bunch of different things Marvin, last weekend we did two kinds, one was Sage and the other was Italian...snacked on some waiting for the rest of the food to be done .

With the leftovers, we crumbled the sage one into cheese grits(sunday tradition here) and the italian one I used in some penne alla vodka I made this week...I guess the possibilities are endless.

What flavor did you do today??

 

Here you go Illini, yummy,yummy stuff!!!!! I just substituted the ham with the sausage fatty crumbled up.

This is a recipe from food network that I have made many times and is a favorite.


1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2/3 cup vodka
3/4 cup canned tomato puree
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 pound cooked ham, finely chopped
2 drops hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco), or to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1 pound penne
3/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

I also like to add chopped garlic.



Melt butter in a deep 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in vodka, bring to a simmer, and simmer for 4 minutes. Add tomato puree and cream and simmer, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in ham, Tabasco, salt, and pepper. Keep sauce warm over very low heat.

Cook pasta in 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water (1 tablespoon salt per every 4 quarts water) until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water and drain pasta.
Add pasta to sauce and toss with sauce and cheese, adding some of reserved cooking water if pasta seems dry.

 

lol....yeah low- cal it is not but it does make a whole pound of pasta.

I will say this... if you try this be carefull with the vodka and a gas stove...I flame mine after I put the vodka in ( flame goes very high) but I gave this recipe to a girlfriend of mine and she darn near started a fire in her kitchen.

 

LOL

Wish your neighbor my best. It's good to have neighbors who care for each other, not always like that these days
