RIGATONI ALLA BUTTERA

Steps:

• Peel the casings off the sausages and break the meat into small chunks. In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium-low heat, until cooked through; drain off the fat and crumble the sausage into small pieces.
• Add the tomatoes to the skillet with the sausage and mix well. Add the cream and cook over medium heat until the sauce begins to thicken.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente, drain and add to the sauce. Add the peas and grated Parmesan cheese, and mix until the pasta is well coated.
• Serve with additional Parmesan cheese.

HIDDEN VEGGIE QUICK BREAD (NO YEAST)

Steps:

• First a note on the vegetable puree: Any vegetable will work, provided that you can get a relatively thick puree (about the consistency of canned pumpkin). For slightly more watery purees, increase the quantity by 1/3 cup and omit the water. It's easy to make vegetable puree--just cook or bake the vegetables until soft, and then puree in a blender or food processor, adding small amounts of water as necessary. Some that have worked well for me: squash, beans, peas, sweet potatoes and, of course, pumpkin--or combine several. It's easiest to make extra puree and freeze it in 1-cup portions for future loaves. (NOTE: Listed prep time does not include making the puree, as this varies depending on the vegetable.).
• To make the bread, combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, combine eggs, veggie puree, oil, and water.
• Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients thoroughly. Add nuts or raisins, if desired.
• Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350 for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Cool in pan for about 10 minutes; then remove and cool thoroughly on a wire rack.
