Follow me on my journey as I create new and fun things to eat. Everything from the old spruced up classics to things I have never tried or have made up cause the fridge is full of leftovers. No matter where this journey leades us it will end in something tasty for our plate. (Pictures and recipes will be included)

Spaghetti
So tonight I am gonna do a little quick spaghetti meal. Normally I use a mix of ground beef and italian sausage but tonight im gonna make it a little more simple. Needed ingredients include - 1package of Johnsonville Italian sausage links. (I used mild tonight) Red wine(I used a snoqualamie falls Syrah. 2- 16 oz cans of spaghetti sauce(My choice tonight was hunts with mushrooms), 2 cans of sliced mushrooms or 1 lb of fresh mushrooms sliced. Olive oil, garlic, italian seasoning,3 bay leafs, basil,salt to taste, black pepper, 1 beef bouillon cube, 1- 8oz can of stewed tomatoes diced. I oackage spaghetti noodles(I used a whole wheat noodle) Begin with a large sauce pan, add about 2 T of olive oil and bring to a medium high eat. Add your garlic, bay leaf, italian seasoning, pepper and bouillon cube to the heated oil. Let cook for about 1-2 minutes or till the garlic turns a light brown color. Add your sausages to the pan and let them brown on both sides. When pan seams almost like it is getting too hot add 2 cups of red wine to deglaze pan. Turn pan down to medium heat. Add your mushrooms. Reduce wine down by half. Add your spaghetti sauce and stewed tomatoes. Let simmer for 1 hour. Get a large pot to cook your noodles in. Bring water to a boil and add a generous amount of salt to water(small handfull for a large pot) Cook noodles till al dente(Just before they are cooked all the way through). Serve spaghetti with a nice side salad and some french bread :) Maybe a little parmesean cheese :)
