Sausage Mushroom Alfredo Pasta
Ingredients
  • 1 large leek, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped
  • 2 links mild Italian sausage (8 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 8 oz rigatoni pasta
  • 8 oz fresh presliced baby portabellas
  • ½ cup white wine (or chicken broth)
  • 1 (15-oz) jar roasted garlic Alfredo sauce
  • 2 oz Deli mushroom & leek (or plain) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Steps
    1. Bring water to boil for pasta. Chop leek (white part only; 1 cup); chop parsley.
    2. Remove sausage casing: cut almost in half (butterfly); turn sausage over and peel casing away (wash hands). Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place 1 tablespoon oil in pan, then add sausage; brown 3–4 minutes, stirring to crumble meat, or until no pink remains. Meanwhile, cook pasta following package instructions.
    3. Remove sausage from pan. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to same sauté pan, then add mushrooms and leeks; cook and stir 3–4 minutes or until tender.
    4. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in wine; simmer 2–3 minutes or until reduced by about one-half.
    5. Stir in Alfredo sauce; bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, shred cheese (½ cup) into sauce; whisk until melted. Stir in pasta and sausage; cook and stir 1 minute. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Strawberry Lemon Supreme
Ingredients
  • 4 oz frozen nondairy whipped topping (1 ½ cups), thawed
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
  • 1 Bakery glazed lemon creme cake
  • ⅓ cup Italian sweet creme (or vanilla) coffee creamer
  • 1 container low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt (5–6 oz)
Steps
    1. Set whipped topping out to thaw. Slice strawberries.
    2. Cut 6 ½-inch-thick slices from cake; arrange 4–5 slices to cover bottom of 9-inch square serving dish. Drizzle or brush creamer over cake slices.
    3. Combine yogurt and strawberries; spoon mixture evenly over cake slices. Spread whipped topping over strawberry mixture.
    4. Crumble remaining cake slice over top for garnish. Chill 1 ½ hours (or overnight) until thoroughly chilled and cake slices are softened. Serve.
Serving Suggestions
  • Complete your meal with fresh salad blend and garlic bread.
  • For a great addition to the pasta recipe, just add 1 cup fresh spinach (or asparagus) with the wine.
