NO TOMATO PASTA SAUCE

No Tomato Pasta Sauce image

My husband can't eat tomatoes so I came up with this so we could have Italian once in a while! Serve over cooked pasta or use instead of canned tomatoes or sauce in any recipe - just change the spices! I now use this as a base for chili, goulash and pizza too!

BOW TIES WITH SAUSAGE, TOMATOES AND CREAM

Bow Ties with Sausage, Tomatoes and Cream image

A friend gave this recipe to me a few years back, and my family can't seem to get enough of it. It sounds strange with cream in it, but that just enhances the flavor and texture. This is a very easy recipe.
