Wednesday last week Pasta 7/14/2010

This was a quick dinner 22 minutes I think.

I had some ground beef and garlic italian sausage from Podesto's 1/2lb of each

I browned the meat then rendered down added garlic and cippolini onion.

Then I added on can of italian tomatoes (I blended with onion and garlic and italian herbs)

let it saute' a bit to cook out the canned taste.  I added 2 good squirts of Tomato Paste.

1 good squirt of Anchovy Paste, I crunched up a couple of procini mushrooms,

and 1-2 cups of beef broth and let simmer for 20 minutes. I added some fresh basil chopped up. 

 During this time of simmer

I cook 1.5 cups of the mini Bow-Tie or Mini Penne pasta al dente about 7 minutes.

Drain and add some fresh Parmiggiana Reggiano and toss the pasta so the cheese sticks then throw into sauce to finish  off then in 20-22 minutes it's done.
