Italian Sausage with Sauteed Vegetables and Pasta

I love this meal, either over polenta or with pasta, its really easy and yummy, I even had the leftovers with homemade bread oh that was divine, great to mop up the sauce!

First get a good quality Italian sausage from a butcher, I got mine from The Fresh Market.

Ingredients:

• 3 big sweet Italian sausages - I used sweet or spicy are also good.
• 2 leeks chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic chopped
• 4 tomatoes chopped
• Italian herbs
• some frozen peas and snap peas, or any veg in the fridge!
• one celery chopped
• 1/2 eggplant chopped
• 1/2 red onion finely chopped

Method:

1. saute the leeks, onion, garlic, celery for 3 minutes then add the sliced sausage and stir well.
2. add the herbs, eggplant, tomato and peas and simmer for 20-25 minutes until cooked and the tomatoes have reduced down into a lovely sauce.
3. add the snap peas for a few minutes and serve over any desired pasta.

Stay tuned tomorrow I found an Icelandic blogger and he is sharing an Icelandic dessert recipe!
