Friday Night Foodie

Sorry that I couldn't write until now peeps!

Hope you all had a good weekend.

I had a great weekend. My fiancee and I decided to make some dinner on Friday night. As you know and saw in my blog about how I look forward to certain meals, Friday night was one of them.

We decided that we were going to mix in the simplicity of pasta, with great flavors of a complex meal. I wanted to go rustic (I love rustic italian - one of my favorite restaurants specializes in rustic italian - and its obnoxious how good it is) and my fiancee decided that it was a great idea.

Simple and complex...oxymoron.

Penne Pasta with a home style sauce (jarred, of course). We grilled grape tomatoes, mushrooms, and garlic + herb turkey sausage.

After the grilling was done - we sauteed some spinach with olive oil, and a little white wine. We added the sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms, and spinach with the tomato sauce. Mixed in the pasta and served.

Simple and Complex...what?

My fiancee made a arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette and sea salt.

The whole meal was accompanied with a 2008 Chianti.

It was an easy meal to prepare with some very good flavors. Simple and complex.

It was a great night that we shared together. The conversation turned into a hilarious trip down memory lane.

Friday Night Foodie - I look forward to the next time.
