Hungry for Pasta? Whip up some Sweet Italian Fussilloni!
Have you ever had one of those weeks where the thought of cooking after a long day at work just felt like well… work? I’m having one of those weeks, so when I was doing a mad dash through Target the other day I stumbled on a new pasta variety that I thought looked good. Really, anything that will hold onto the sauce and whatever else I toss into my pasta dishes, is appealing to me. I’d never seen Fussilloni before (or heard of it for that matter) so I tossed it in my cart along with a jar of basil and garlic pasta sauce and went on my way. It looks a lot like rotini but it’s quite a bit larger and I figured it would work for dinner one day this week .
Skip ahead a day or two to Thursday night when I drummed up some cooking mojo and started pulling stuff together for this Sweet Italian Fussilloni Recipe. My subscription to Imperfect Foods pretty much guarantees that I always have bell peppers on hand and I also had a package of sweet Italian sausage and some mushrooms in my last box. All that paired with half an onion and I was well on my way to a quick dinner. Putting it together took less than 30 minutes including the time it took to toss a loaf of sourdough in the oven to warm. As an added bonus, we have leftovers for a day or two! It pairs nicely with a fresh, tossed salad.
Have a great weekend everyone and let me know what you think of this recipe in the comments.
