I have been excited to make this Rachael Ray pasta all year. It did not dissappoint! There were so many wonderful flavors. It was really great. To me, really it is a glorified meat sauce, but it was better then most meat sauces I have tried in my day. I love meat sauce, so that is saying a lot!

Christmas Pasta

Cookbook: 365 Days: No Repeats

Total Time: 45 minutes

Notes: I did not use veal because I can not find it at the local grocery store, and I thought I had some cheese, but we didn’t, which was sad. We used a little shredded mozzarella.

I choose this Rachael Ray recipe because I could make sausages again, and the little one loves those. It’s one of the few meats we can get him to eat, of course I always buy the ones with cheese in it. This recipe is great, it all taste so good together. A perfect meat and potatoes meal! If your man is a meat and potatoes guy, this one is for him!

Fancy Pants Bangers and Mash

Cookbook: 365 Days: No Repeats

Total Time: 45 minutes, it took a while for the potatoes to boil

Notes:I should have bought the steam-able red skinned potatoes, those mash up so quickly. My mom loved the mashed potatoes, with the cream cheese they just taste amazing! I didn’t use any red wine, I hadn’t bought it yet, I thought I just needed it tomorrow night!
