Feel like a little Italian??

Wait until the sun goes down before you start cookin'.



No need to be real organized but.....Make sure your sausages have an expiry date...maybe even change brands that do.

Exhale and sip on your Vino.
You can't beat an electric frying pan for dishes like this.

Add veggies...have some more wine





Glampingbaba's Italian Sausage Fry with the Devil
1 pound Italian Sausage(mild) with Expiry Date
3 tbsp. Oil
3 cloves garlic chopped up(or more if the devil is present)
1 onion diced
1 green pepper diced
1 red pepper diced
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 can diced tomatoes with spices
1 tsp. Basil leaves
1 tsp. Oregano
½ tsp. Red pepper flakes
Pepper and salt to taste
½ cup Parmesan Reggiano Shredded
3 glasses Red Italian Wine( or more)
Pour 1st  glass of wine and start dicin’.  Get your electric fryin’ pan out and pour in oil. Add diced onions and garlic and sauté. At this point.... I had to turn everything off and run back to the store because my Italian  Sausages had no expiry date and I didn’t like the colour when I cut them up.


 Geez!
Okay I’m back on track.  Big slug of wine now! Turn frying pan back on. Slice or cut sausage in 1 inch chunks and add to sautéed onions and garlic until browned a bit.  Add sliced mushrooms, and peppers until stir fried a bit. Mix crushed tomatoes with diced tomatoes and pour over sausage and veggies. Sprinkle the spices, mix, cover with lid and simmer at 275 for about 30-40 minutes. You should be on your 2nd glass of wine now. Put a pot of spaghetti on and make a Caesar salad.
If you're out of oil go to your neighbors.  If they are Italian they will always have oil.
If you're out of wine...go back to the neighbors.  They will always have wine, regardless of nationality.
 If your sausages are still simmering after all of this - go read a book or something.
Or like me...decorate you daughter-in-law's Halowe'en dress, but switch wine glasses.


Pour cooked Italian sausages over spaghetti or any pasta you prefer and sprinkle with Parmesan Reggiano Shredded, Caesar salad, and garlic toast.
Don't worry about making a mistake.  If you drink enough wine you'll think you're in Italy. 
Molto buono paisano!
