I had a mishap unpacking my groceries, as I opened the trunk of my SUV my grocery bag came crashing out and the new sauce I wanted to try splattered all over my garage floor.\u00a0 I thought I’d cheat a little, make a pasta, add a few spices to it… dinner would be quick!\u00a0 Well it was a great plan but now I had to make my own sauce. \u00a0So I quickly sauteed 3 minced garlic cloves in tablespoon of olive oil, with a \u00bd tsp of red pepper flakes.\u00a0 I chopped up a cup of shitake mushrooms (caps only) and 1 small diced onion, added that to the garlic. \u00a0I cooked for approx. 2-3 minutes until the onions were translucent. \u00a0I then added 1 pound of grass feed ground beef and browned. \u00a0My next addition\u00a0was a large 15 oz can of San Marzano crushed tomatoes, 1 cup of fresh grape tomatoes cut in half, \u00bd cup of heavy cream, 1\/3 cup of vodka, 1\/3 cup grated parmesan, 2 tablespoons\u00a0of chopped fresh basil. \u00a0I let this simmer for about 20 minutes. \u00a0I boiled my pasta; I used Barilla Cellentani, a\u00a0twisted pasta that I love. \u00a0The final step was to mix the pasta and sauce and serve.<\/p>\n

Everything I used in this recipe was something I had in the house… I just made it up as I went along. \u00a0This is the way a fast meal works in my house. \u00a0I don’t always follow a recipe but rather work from scratch with whatever I have on hand. \u00a0It usually turns out and it’s fun to play with what you have in the house. \u00a0Enjoy, remember you can make changes, additions or subtractions… have fun with it!<\/p>\n
