This dish is made healthier with addition of broccoli and whole-wheat pasta. The sauce is flavorfully rich and spicy!
It's also a good one for weekday cooking or entertaining because it comes together very quickly!

Wow! Does that look delicious! I'd have to skip the shrimp due to allergies -but I think the sausage could carry the day!
ReplyDeleteAnn, I am impressed that you do so much HEALTHY cooking without being able to eat seafood. That's impressive! But, you're right the sausage would be enough. Or chicken would be good too.
ReplyDeletePlease try this without the excess tomato sauce and the cream. Maybe a few canned tomatoes and some stock.
