Fettuccine Calabrese

This recipe was found in the book Home Cooking the Costco way (which I was able to pick up free this weekend at, you guessed it, Costco). I love cookbooks, and this one has a ton of great recipes in it. It is over 200 pages and one of the best things about this is it's cost, FREE. I've modified this recipe a bit to reflect my own cooking style and the ingredients I had on hand.

Fettuccine Calabrese

2 lbs Sun-Dried Tomato Sausage, sliced

2 Tbsp Olive Oil

1/2 cup Butter

1 Tbsp Crushed Garlic

1/4 cup finely chopped Shallots

3 cups sliced White Mushrooms

1/2 cup Red Wine Vinegar

2 Cup Heavy Cream

2 cups diced fresh Tomatoes

2 1/2 cups Marinara Sauce

1/2 cup fresh Basil

Salt and Pepper to Taste

2 lbs Fettuccine, cooked until al dente and drained

Grated Parmesan Cheese

Cook sausage in olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain oil and remove sausage to a dish.

Add butter, garlic, shallots and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook over medium heat until tender and lightly browned.

Add wine vinegar and cooked until reduced. Stir in cream.

Add cooked sausage, diced tomatoes and marinara sauce to the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add basil, salt and pepper to taste.

Pour over cooked fettuccine and toss. Garnish with grated Parmesan. Serves 8-10.

Enjoy.
