Apple Sausage Alfredo Pasta
Well, I was experimenting in the kitchen tonight.
Usually when I experiment and don't follow a recipe, the results are okay but not fantastic enough to write down in order to create it again.
Tonight was different!
I was anxious about it, wasn't even sure if I would like the combination of flavors. It just proved that it is worth taking some chances with food -- you just might create something wonderful.
Now if I could only figure out a way to make alfredo sauce healthy!!!
Scott agreed with me that this combination of flavors were a winner, so I took the time to write it down so that it can be duplicated again. Try it and let me know what you think!
So, here is what I did. At our local grocery store, BG's, they make their own apple sausage and sell it packaged loose and not in links. I browned about a pound of this in a pan. After it was browned, I added in a 10 ounce can of garlic and onion flavored diced tomatoes and about 1/3 cup of balsamic vinegar. I cooked this over medium heat until the liquid reduced completely. I added a jar of cheesy alfredo sauce, stirred it in and heated it through. While all this was happening, I cooked some penne pasta. I served the sausage alfredo sauce overtop of the penne pasta.
