Pasta with vegetables and sausage
I haven't posted anything for a while.
No time due to work and studies. Also, to improve my workflow, I had to write a few generators.
I would like to post something creative, but today is Sunday and today is a small post about food.
In fact, it was prepared "from what was in the fridge."
It all started when I took a frozen smoked sausage out of the freezer. Sometimes I freeze products that I bought too much of. This is one of those cases.
I peeled and chopped one carrot, a small onion, and some garlic.
I bought pasta that wasn't too expensive. I bought it on sale.
Frying pan time!
Sausage cut into thin slices, olive oil and a little pork lard fried with the meat. Yeah, it's not vegetarian at all and not very healthy) maybe about healthy food next time.
It needs to be fried a little to get a light crust.
At this stage I added the prepared vegetables. First the onions and carrots. Need to fry them for a couple of minutes so that the onions become a little golden.
Now I added spices and garlic.
Time to add frozen vegetables. For example, today I used "vegetables in a pan in Polish style" (Now this is not an advertisement).
In fact, you can use any frozen vegetables that cook in under 10 minutes.
Now I add a little water so that the vegetables are "steamed" but not burnt.
While the vegetables are cooking, I throw the pasta into salted water (about a teaspoon of salt (5-7 grams) per 1 liter of water).
This time I added a little tomato (tomato paste). To add a little sourness. Actually, you can cook without tomato.
Of course, everything needs to be stirred from time to time and the temperature of the stove needs to be monitored.
The vegetables and pasta cook in just 7-8 minutes. After that, the pasta can be mixed with the vegetables in the pan.
The pasta and vegetables should be thoroughly mixed and fried for another 1-2 minutes.
Total cooking time is a maximum of 20 minutes. The price in my area is a little over $1.
In fact, there can be many variations of this dish.
You can add both fresh and frozen vegetables.
You can cook it simply with onions, carrots, garlic, spices and tomatoes.
This is a kind of small field for "culinary creativity".
What is especially nice is that it is fast.
And it's not some "instant pasta" from a package that you just need to pour boiling water over.
In fact, poorly prepared pasta is not cheap at all.
I also sometimes cook my own "ramen". Of course, from "normal" pasta.
By the way, I haven't bought instant pasta for a long time. Because they are neither healthy nor cheap.
What can I drink with this dish?
Today I drank carrot-banana juice.
Although in reality it can be herbal tea or coffee.
And this dish is quite satisfying. Even in a vegetarian version.
Although you can cook any porridge this way.
I hope you enjoyed seeing a little cooking today.
I don't know if you're interested in reading about this.
Although I would like to see more paintings myself.
But unfortunately there is too much work right now
And also a lot of different trips.
Not everything is as good as it seems.
I can only dream of a time when I will have enough money to not have to do uninteresting work.
I can't say that my work is completely uninteresting.
But I would like to devote more time to my hobbies.
Unfortunately, I don't get anything out of my hobby, except pleasure.
And what's the weather like today? Not very good, of course.
First it was sunny, but now it's raining and cold.
I hope you have good weather and all is well with your means.
I hope you can spend more time on your hobby.
Our life is just a moment. It's a pity when it passes by.
Unfortunately, we can't do everything we want all the time.
