LINGUINE

Smoke and a pancake? Sausage and linguine? YES! I love shrimp and I love chicken sausage. This is a dish I whipped up fast because Billy and I were hungarryy and it was getting late that evening.

Ingredients:

1 frozen bag of uncooked deveined shrimp
2 chicken sausage links, sliced (I used Johnsonville's cajun style).
1 package of linguine ( I used barilla's whole wheat)
1 very big garlic clover or 2 small cloves, chopped
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2-3 tbsp butter (I did use real butter)
handful of spinach
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Cook linguine according to package. Meanwhile in a saute pan on medium-high heat toss in butter and garlic for about a minute. Add in sausage and crushed red pepper flakes. Once sausage gets some brown edges and it smells FANTASTIC in your kitchen, throw in the shrimp. Cook shrimp until almost pink and throw in the remaining ingredients. It should be just about the right time that your pasta is done. Drain the pasta, DO NOT RINSE! Rinsing your pasta removes the starch so your buttery sauce won't stick. DUH! Toss the pasta right into your saute pan with the sausage and shrimp. I added a little butter at the very end, I'm so bad! Serve immediately with some shredded cheese or have it as is. I have to say I had the hiccups so bad after eating this because I didn't come up for air when eating it. So DELICIOUS!
