Tasty Tuesdays- ITALIAN STALLION!

Hello all and welcome to my very first Tasty Tuesday post. Before you tilt your head and blurt out the fact that it is in fact no longer Tuesday STOP! I know this and will rectify the issue with some amazing mind trickery. When I count to three it will again be Tuesday until you finish reading this blog...at which point it will again be whenever it was that you started reading. See, thats how awesome I am. Just think, if Blake can alter the flow of time JUST FOR HIS BLOG imagine what the meal must have tasted like. Oddly enough though I cannot rewind time and bring the deliciousness back, thats just crazy talk and I wont hear of it(mainly because I tried and failed and then pouted in the corner like a 3 year old).

On to the meal! I call it "The Italian Stallion", one of my many pasta creations. I love me some Italian cuisine, not only is it easy and generally affordable to make but you can also do almost anything with it. Another bonus is that you can make it in huge quantities and portion it out over the week, hence one reason why I only have one day devoted to cooking and not an entire Blog. Yes Blake is kind of lazy, but no matter on to the meal!

Gotta Have meat of some sort I always say. Now typically I go the shellfish route but a meal dubbed "Italian Stallion" must contain sausage in honor of this. So I choose some mild Italian Sausage for this dish but I highly recommend grabbing some with a little more spice to it for a great addition. Chopped that up into some meatball sized chunks and sauteed it with some freshly diced tomato, oregano, and basil with a bit of butter.

 Meanwhile I had the pasta, a cheap brand of linguine we walmart shoppers like to call Great Value, boiling with a bit of salt and olive oil. Yes folks thats right Blake can multitask like nobodies business. Once that was finished I tossed on some steamed cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots and voila!

After draining the excess oils and such out of the meat I placed a healthy portion (Lots) on top of the dish and then.....

Added some delicious Roasted garlic Alfredo. Be it store bought or freshly made, the sauce is where its at. The climax of the whole meal if you will. Needless to say after this point all thats left to do is eat the heck out of it!

So enjoy, I know I did.
