Super Buttery Sausage & Tomato Pasta


Super Buttery Sausage & Tomato Pasta

Butter Butter Butter... Raise your hands if you LOVE butter!! Hahaha do not try to substitute butter with margarine when the dish is indeed to be made with BUTTER… It’s ok, don’t worry about the calories, just go burn off the extra calories @ the gym or eat something light for the next meal… the dish will not taste as yummy as it should be if you did substitute the BUTTER with margarine… stick with the recipe, burn off the calories later!

The tomatoes I used for this dish is the last batch from my backyard… I am sad… no more free fresh tomatoes, I guess I will have to ask for the free tomatoes from my sister during my next visit. Don’t be shy to ask for free food, produce, sauce… or anything…, people understand, it’s HARD to live ALONE… I still have the leftover Sausages from my previous dish that I made for my SUPER EASY JAMBALAYA, better use it up before it goes bad…!

try it, cook it, eat it, share it, love it!!!
