Recipe Thursday | Bowtie Kielbasa Pasta

Bowtie Kielbasa Pasta by DeDe Smith
This week’s Recipe | Bowtie Kielbasa Pasta by DeDe Smith
We really like kielbasa (especially the beef kind) in my family. Up to this point we had just fried it up and ate it with potatoes and vegetables, but I have a love for pasta and so I wanted to create a pasta dish with it. I kind of just pulled things out of my pantry and this was the result. My family loved it (except for my daughter – who shunned the green onions, but liked the rest)! I really liked how it was all made in a skillet – only one pan to clean! This is definitely going into our list of go-to dinner meals.

Instructions

First, put a the box of pasta into boiling water that has been salted. 2-3 minutes before the pasta is done add the broccoli with the pasta and cook until tender. Make sure to save one cup of pasta water to help make the sauce.

While the pasta is cooking, cook the Italian sausage and red onion in a larger skillet until the sausage is completely cooked through. Make sure to break up the sausage with a wooden spoon.

For your sauce, whisk in a separate bowl: the crushed garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oregano.

When your pasta and sausage is cooked through add the pasta and broccoli to the same pan as the sausage and pour your olive oil mix all over and mix well. Add some of the saved pasta water to scrape up all the yummy flavor that stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add some Parmesan cheese and you’re done!

Recipe Thursday | Buttermilk Biscuits & Sausage Gravy

Buttermilk Biscuits & Sausage Gravy by DeDe Smith
This week’s Recipe | Buttermilk Biscuits & Sausage Gravy by DeDe Smith
I love biscuits and gravy. They are the ultimate comfort food for me. These biscuits work great with gravy or just serve it with your dinner with some honey. Sooo good. I have many memories of going up to the family ranch for a cook-out and having my Grandpa Sorensen make his amazing buttermilk biscuits in the dutch oven. We would sneak pieces of the dough – it was really that good. This is the closest recipe that I have ever had to what my Grandpa’s tasted like. Yum!

The ultimate comfort breakfast food!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Fold in the buttermilk just until all of the flour is moistened. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead lightly until the dough comes together. Gently roll out and use a biscuit cutter to cut doughs into circles. Place the circles onto baking sheet and bake 12 minutes.

For Gravy: crumble sausage into skillet and fry with the onion and worcestershire sauce. When sausage is fully cooked, stir the flour into the sausage to make a roux. Add milk and stir constantly until gravy thickens. Add pepper and season salt. Serve over biscuits.
