The very best part of a good meal may just be the company...it sure helps when they are hanging on your every word!

You must really like pasta...huh? LOL.

I love pasta with meatballs and sometimes clams.

I believe I'm looking at angel hair pasta, snow peas, broccoli, cabbage and shaved carrots. What am I missing...I would like to cook this up and try it?

If I eyes deceive me, is that green stuff moldy bread?

I think it's paté.

 

[eagle2250]

I think it's paté.

I'm inclined to agree with Oldsarge on this call, but must admit that the only pate' I have ever experienced was of a light brown/tan hue...not decidedly green, as pictured above. However, is there any such thing as 'avocado pate' or perhaps it is an aged goose pate'? Goose pate I have eaten was a bit of a grey hue on the plate.

I think it's paté.

Sorry, it looked like mold to me.

Do my eyes deceive me or is that andouille sausage sliced in that pasta, an upgraded version of the fictional Sheldon Coopers (Big Bang series) favored way to consume pasta...and to my mind, much better than the spaghetti with hotdogs that they laud in the show! I just might have to give that a try.

I love Spaghetti And Sausage.

I love Spaghetti And Sausage.

The entree for this Sundays family dinner will be Shrimp Scampi on a bed of angel hair pasta, or in other words, spaghetti and shrimp, sauteed in garlic with chopped up asparagus spears and sliced red peppers to seduce the palates of those fortunate enough to be sitting around that table! LOL.

Sounds delicious, all this pasta talk I can't wait till we go back to Italian restaurants and enjoy some spaghetti.

Looks like it. The cool thing to me is that the uncooked spaghetti is pushed through the pieces of sausage and then they are boiled so that each piece of sausage has a bunch of cooked spaghetti running through it!

"Holy cow" When cruising the forum yesterday, I must not have had my glasses on, for I flat out missed the spaghetti pushing through the sausage slices. How did they manage to do that?

 

[Oldsarge]

It's really quite simple, Eagle. By slicing the sausage you expose the soft center. Stiff, uncooked pasta slides through it very neatly. Then you just drop the slices into boiling water and leave them there long enough for the pasta to cook, drain and serve with whatever you think enhances the sausage. With Andouille you can either go Cajun or Provincial French. Excellent, either way.

Here's a child's version of the process.
