Рецепт Skillet Sausage & Spinach Alfredo
Skillet Sausage & Spinach AlfredoThis quick skillet alfredo is a great way to use that one lone sausage that's always left over. Nice meal for singles and empty-nesters!
Here's a tasty dinner that uses leftover sausage. I always end up with one lone sausage left over that I hate to admit, I usually end up forgetting about and throwing it out!
This is also a nice meal for just 2 people or a single person with another serving left over. The recipe can be doubled easily to serve 4 people.
Nice dinner for couples or singlesWith this, I cooked the pasta in the rice cooker, but if you want to do it all in 1 skillet to avoid extra dishes to wash, then add 1 cup of uncooked pasta and about 1 cup of water to the skillet after the mushrooms have sauteed. Bring the water to a boil, cover the skillet, reduce the heat and cook for about 8 minutes (or until the water is absorbed), then carry on with making the sauce as per the directions in the recipe.
Just make sure the pasta is pretty much submerged in the water. If it's still too hard after the water is absorbed, add another 1/2 cup of water, cover and cook until the additional water is absorbed. You should be OK with the 1 cup of water though--it's a bit of a learning curve cooking it this way, but to me it's worth it not to wait for big pots of water to boil and then having to drain it.
