there is this pasta dish i love at a restaurant in long beach which has sausage and mushrooms in a creamy sauce. unfortunately, b is lactose intolerant, so i had to make some modifications for him. you can use sweet or spicy sausages for this, but i prefer the sweet version since it seems less oily.
ingredients
2 fresh italian sausages
10 mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves of garlic
1/4 c white wine
4 sprigs of basil
pasta (i used about 4 handfuls of penne)
directions
start boiling water for the pasta.
remove the casing from the sausage and brown it in a nonstick pan, breaking it up as you go. when the outside has cooked, add the garlic and the mushrooms.
add the wine.
just before the pasta is done, remove it from the pot and mix it in to the sausage/mushroom mix.
add basil and stir until slightly wilted.
