RECIPE⬇️⬇️⬇️

I sautéed a package of sliced chicken sausage links in a generous amount of olive oil until browned and removed from the pan.

To the hot pan with the leftover olive oil (you can also add more oil here) I added a handful of fresh cherry tomatoes🍅, a diced red bell pepper🌶️, 1/4 of a red onion diced small🧅. Sauté veggies until soft. Once soft, add 4 cloves of garlic🧄, minced. Cook briefly with soft veggies. Add a good splash of rose wine (you could also use white wine)🍷. Cook for about 1 minutes. Add 1 can of crushed tomatoes 🍅and some basil leaves🍃. Add as much red pepper flakes as you would like and season with salt and pepper (don’t go heavy on the salt). 🧂🌶️

Cook you’re pasta of choice in saltyyyy water.🍝While your pasta cooks, skim the white foam from the top of the water and add to your sauce.

Turn the sauce down to low, add a generous splash of heavy whipping cream. 🥛

Add your pasta to the sauce once cooked to your liking (al dente or below recommended).

Mix and taste for seasoning. Serve with chicken sausage on top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. You could also add fresh basil.

Super easy weeknight pasta!! The red pepper really takes it to the next level!! I think this would be INSANE with shrimp instead of sausage! 🍤

Triple Berry Cheesecake Sweet Roll Recipe:

Makes 12 rolls

Berry Filling

* 2 HEAPING cups mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
* ⅓ cup sugar
* 1 tbsp lemon juice
* 1.5 tbsp cornstarch
* The zest of 1 lemon

Cream Cheese Layer

* 4 oz cream cheese (half a block)
* 2 tbsp softened butter
* 2 tbsp sugar
* Splash vanilla
* 1 vanilla bean split and seeds scraped out

Frosting

* 4 oz cream cheese
* 2 tbsp salted butter
* Powdered sugar until fluffy and spreadable - add a little at a time until desired consistency and sweetness
* Splash vanilla
* Splash of heavy cream

Sweet Roll Dough

* 1 cup whole milk, warmed (about 105–110°F)
* 2¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet, instant yeast also works)
* ⅓ cup granulated sugar
* 2 large eggs, room temp
* 6 tbsp salted butter, softened
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 4 cups all purpose flour

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine:
* Warm milk
* Yeast
* 1 tbsp of the sugar
Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
1. Add:
* Remaining sugar
* Eggs
* Salt
* Softened butter
2. Mix in 4 cups flour.
3. Knead 8–10 minutes until smooth, soft, and slightly tacky.
Don’t add too much flour. A slightly sticky dough makes softer rolls.
1. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1–1½ hours.
2. While dough is rising make your berry filling and cheesecake layer.
3. Roll into roughly a 12x18-inch rectangle.
4. Spread with cream cheese filling, then berry filling.
5. Roll tightly and cut into 12 rolls.
6. Place in a buttered 9x13 pan.
7. Cover and rise again 30–60 minutes until puffy.
8. Pour about ½ cup heavy cream around the rolls before baking, not over the rolls, but around the edges and in between rolls.
9. Bake at 350°F for 25–32 minutes until lightly golden.
10. Let cool for 15-20 minutes before frosting. Enjoy warm.
