Kielbesa penne




We like left overs, they are great for lunches and tired evenings.  This recipe yield 7 servings. I had to divide the sauce in the pasta pot to be able to mix the pasta in.


Kielbesa penne

Ingredients

1                                 Sliced Kielbasa
2 tablespoon            Olive oil
7                                 Sliced carrots
1 cup                         String beans (a can is ok)
1                                 Diced fennel
28 oz.                        Crushed tomatoes
2 cloves                    Garlic
A pinch                     Chives
A pinch                     Black pepper
A splash                    Vegetable broth
About 16 oz.             Whole wheat penne
1/2 cup                      Pasta water

Directions 

Warm olive oil on medium heat in a big pot.  Brown the kielbasa slices until brown.  Put them aside and sauté the carrots 5 minutes, add the fennel and cook 5 more minutes, add garlic and let it cook 30 seconds.  Deglaze the pan with the broth, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.  Add the tomatoes, stir, reduce the heat  and cover leaving space to vent.  

Boil water and cook the penne according to the instructions on the box.

I highly recommend whole wheat penne for this recipe, they pair very well with the bold flavor of kielbasa.

Use your favorite sausage and veggies, make it "à la you" and bon appétit.
