Sad News......

I have sad news......I will be taking a break from the posting on this blog. I am SO busy and have a ton of irons in the fire right now. My life needs to slow down so I can focus more on my family and spending time with my kids. I will probably still post an occasional recipe here and there, because this blog is basically my recipe box, but I just feel that this is one thing that takes up my time that I don't need to spend on. So if you have any questions, or requests please email me at janicetwitchell at hotmail dot com. I will be happy to help you. Still check back every now and then but as for now, I'm taking a break. Thanks.

Sausage-tomato Rigatoni

*This is a kraft recipe that I have loved for years. I made a full batch a while ago and decided it needed to be on here. This recipe is enough to make 2 meals for my family. So we usually eat half then I freeze the rest for a later day when I'm not in the mood to cook. :) lus it's cheap to make, my fav. part and also very yummy! This works out to be about 30 min. beginning to finish. Bonus!


YOU'LL NEED:

-1 box rigatoni pasta $.88

-1 small can of tomato paste $.50

-1/4 c. sun-dried tomato salad dressing $.25

-1 tbs. parsley $.05

-1 pkg. sausage (I use the sage flavored, but any kind will work) $2.30

-1/2 red onion, sliced free from garden

- 1/4 c. parmesan $.25

TOTAL=$4.23 (this is 2 meals for my family so it's really $2.11 per meal)

DIRECTIONS:

-Boil some water for your pasta.

-While water boils, cook your sausage. Once sausage is cooked add sliced onions.

-Drop your pasta and cook it according to package directions.

-let onions cook a little while with sausage. Then add your dressing & paste.

-let that cook for a while. then the last few min. add the parmesan and sprinkle with parsley.

-Toss pasta with sauce & enjoy!
