This Quick Sausage Meatballs with a Tomato and Basil Sauce, Spaghetti and Sweet Raw Peas recipe contains pork sausages, spaghetti, fresh peas, olive oil, olive oil and more.
So Vegetarian is almost an unheard of word in the Philippines, but while in college I still wanted the Filipino tastes while trying to be vegetarian. Since all of the recipes I know had meat (even the veggies are cooked in pork) I had to come up with some of my own. This is one of those. Tofu sinigang apparently isn't unheard of in the Philippines but this recipe came out of trial and error. The soup is pretty sour cooked to quot;full strengthquot; but can make a pretty nice fast meal with rice.
Don't let anyone know you used only 4 ingredients in this lusciously creamy pasta dish. Or that you got it on the table in less than 25 minutes. We won't tell anyone either.
I make this dish often because everyone likes it, even my pickiest eater. I tell my kids that Cowboy Chow is what cowboys eat while out on the range (wink).
Prepared sauce, frozen vegetables, and preshredded cheese save time in this Italian-inspired main dish, with potatoes standing in for traditional pasta.
