My next pirated recipe!

Well, I was trolling the inter-web this morning trying to get an idea for what I wanted to cook today and I found a ton of recipes that had potential.  For some reason though, I was especially drawn to this one from JMJE that she posted on her blog Making Stuff is Fun.  Here is her recipe for Cajun Chicken Sausage and Pepper Tortellini. 

"Cajun Chicken Sausage and Pepper Tortellini (3-4 servings)

2 Chicken Sausages-Sweet Pepper Flavored

Package Frozen Tortellini

1 cup Frozen Pepper Blend (red, yellow, green)

1/2 small white onion

Cajun Seasoning

Garlic Salt

Red Pepper Flakes

1/2 Can Petite Diced Tomatoes

1/2 cup chicken broth

I cooked all the veggies (except the tomatoes) together with some garlic salt and cajun seasoning.  Then I added in the Sausage.  These are precooked so they don't take too long to heat up.  I added in the tomatoes and simmered that for a bit.  Then I added in some chicken broth in small increments to make it more saucy and less just chunky.  I threw in some red pepper flakes for good measure.  While you are making the sauce cook the tortellini or whatever pasat you want or have.  Once the sauce was thickened I mixed it all together with the Tortellini.  And there you have it, a pretty easy week night meal."

After reading this, I decided that I would "pirate" this recipe and make a few tweaks to it and cook it tonight.  So, I will be back later with an update to this post and let you know how it goes.  I will also include my recipe for this seemingly delectable dish.

All respect and much love to JMJE and her blog.

UPDATE:  So I made this recipe but substituted andouille sausage for the italian sausage and spiced it up a little bit by add a little ancho-chipotle vinaigrette.  I must say, it was pretty tasty.  I would recommend this to everyone.
