Exam Time Meals

With the holiday's come exams. I have been busy with work and school and just have not had the time to post, so here are two posts together, both are simple and take around 40 to 50 mintes in tottal.

Spicy Italian Sausage Tomato Basil Sauce
This sauce is really nice and light and so simple to make. I put it over ravioli but it would be just as good on spaghetti or linguine noodles.

3-4 spicy Italian sausages
1 tin of diced tomatoes
1-2 good handfuls of fresh basil
1tbs olive oil
salt and pepper

Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan and add the sausage to the pan. The sausage will need to be removed from the casing, this may sound hard but it's really easy. To remove from the casing hold the sausage in the middle and squeeze until the filling starts to come out, then you just keep squeezing out the filling until it's all out. Like this ...

Break up the sausage so it looks a bit more like ground hamburger

While the sausage is cooking chop the basil. It doesn't have to be minced or even neatly cut as long as it's small it will be fine.

When the sausage is cooked add the tin of tomatoes and your basil. Add the salt and pepper to taest and simmer for as long as it takes to cook your pasta and then spoon over the pasta and enjoy.

Stuffed Peppers
This dinner is as easy as it sounds. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F, take your favourite meat spaghetti sauce heat it up or make it and fill the desired amount of peppers with it and top with cheese. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes. To prepare the peppers all you need to do is wash them and cut the top off.
