Pasta, faster

A easy quick meaty meal to fix yourself when you're short of time, drunk, & hungry:

Fettuccine with Italian Sausage:

Serves one person:

• Onion - 1 medium size, finely chopped.
• Tomato - 2 small or 1.5 medium sized; coarse chunky pieces.
• Italian Sausage - Chunky pieces;Cut 1 sausage into 4-5 pieces.
• Bacon (optional) - Nothing like cooking in animal fat
• Fettuccine - A little less than enough for one person.
• Mozzarella (optional) - You're not calorie conscious, are you?
• Salt, Pepper, & cooking oil.

Preparing the pasta:

• Simply heat the fettuccine in boiling water. Add a little salt to avoid sticking. Taste a strand or two & set aside when its not fully cooked, but cooked enough so you can eat it if you had to. So about 90% cooked.

Preparing the Sausage:

• Heat about 1.5 tablespoons of oil in a flat saucepan. Turn the heat to low.
• Saute the chopped onions until they are sort-of, kind-of brownish.
• Add the chunky tomatoes, bacon, & sausages.
• Stir to mix everything well, cover the pan, & cook for about 8-10 minutes.
• Put the Fettuccine into the mix & stir well. Cover the pan & let it sit for 3-4 minutes. Stir from time to time to avoid sticking.

Sprinkle a little cheese, throw in a little salt to taste, & enamour with some pepper.

Your pasta is ready to eat, so hope you have some beer stocked up .
