B

ButterSticks

Guest
1 box Mostacciolli
1/4 cup butter, separated have it close by (see below)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 quart heavy cream
2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (separated into 1 cup increments)
1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy ~ YOU DECIDE)
1 red bell pepper diced
1 onion diced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 tomatoes diced
1/2 bunch fresh basil (torn into pieces)
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste



Cook Mostaccioli, drain and set aside

Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a saucepot.
Add minced garlic
Slowly add heavy whipping cream to melted butter and garlic mixture.
Bring sauce to a slow simmer, then add 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Stir until melted
Let sauce simmer on low.

Break into pieces and brown Italian sausage in a skillet
Add Mrs Dash, red bell pepper, onion, tomotoes and mushrooms to meat mixture. When cooked dump them into the sauce ( I like a bit of "crunch" left in my veggies)
Add fresh basil
Add diced garlic to taste.
Add olive oil.

Mix sauce and Mostaccioli together, add salt and pepper to taste in a 9 x 13 inch pan, top with remaining cheese. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until cheese melts.
