After weeks of having no italian food I was craving a good spagetti & meatballs. But with not enough time between processing my pears and bedtime, I settled on sweet sausage sauce on fettucini with a garden salad of butter lettuce, mustard greens, radishes (don't throw away those green tops use them in the recipe below) and my last two garden tomatoes with crumbled blue cheese and vinaigrette.
I sauted the sweet italian suasage (I bought home made- lower fat at the local store)with two cloves of fresh garlic, minced, 1 cup of radish greens, chooped to bite size and sauted for 5 minutes until greens were wilted and sausage was browned. Added 1/4 cup red wine and simmered until wine is reduced and almost gone while scraping the bits off the bottom of the pan. Then added a restaurant brand of spagetti sauce with sausage & cheese and simmered for 10 more minutes. Of course you want to be sipping a glass of the nice red wine while doing this. Ready to mix with 1 lb. of fettucini. Yummy! And the sweet smell of italian food lingers in the kitchen.
