My absolute favorite dinners are the straightforward weeknight kind.

the type which will be whipped up in thirty minutes or less from start to end and only ruin one dish. And in fact , they have to knock-my-socks-off with flavor as well! i'm so crazy with this spicy, creamy, cheesy pasta for all of these reasons. it's just full of numerous incredible flavors. It’s one among our new favorites — I make it all the time because it’s so yummy and easy!

This amazing Spicy Sausage Pasta dish is one among my favorite recipes from one among my favorite cookbooks, the simplest Simple Recipes from America’s Test Kitchens. It’s crammed with over 200 recipes for quick and straightforward dinners which will be ready in thirty minutes or less. Perfect. I’ve gotten numerous new dinner recipes for us from this cookbook. And since it’s from America’s Test Kitchens, you recognize that each single recipe is tried, true, and to-die-for. They even conduct blind taste-testings and tell you what brand of whatever ingredient they’re using is that the best. i really like stuff like that.

First things first — the sausage. i'm an enormous fan of smoked sausage, and that i am completely, head over heels, taken aback by this Butterball Turkey Sausage. the primary time we tried it i assumed , there’s no way that this is often turkey sausage. There’s no way it's half the calories and fat of normal smoked sausage. There’s no way. Because it tastes a bit like regular smoked sausage — the full-fat, full-calorie kind that I wont to buy all the time. I just don’t see how it’s possible that this sausage can have all the yummy, juicy flavors of normal smoked sausage with only half the fat and calories. But it only took one bite to convince me. We’ve been buying this turkey sausage exclusively for a couple of months now, and that i will never return to regular smoked sausage again. You guys know since I tend to travel a touch crazy when I’m traveling, i prefer to chop back on the fat and calories when I’m home! But flavor absolutely comes first. i really like that I can have both with this sausage.

Here’s my little secret. I buy frozen, diced onions by the bag and add them to whatever I’m cooking that involves diced onions — I don’t even thaw them first. It’s such an enormous time saver on behalf of me , and that i always know I even have onions available .
