Sunday Dinner at Mom and Dad's

OK, most women - make that most people - see a great recipe online and save it, buy the ingredients and try it out. But no, I am not most people :-) I read it, think that sounds great and forward it to Mom. :-)))))))))

So, below,( if this works) is the recipe, copied and pasted out of FOOD AND WINE. Mom made it tonight and YUMMMY! You missed it Ev!!! It was great with a chardonnay and a grainy garlic bread that Mom also made for Dad and me to enjoy :-) Then all of us tried to catch Ava.......... none of us were successful.

In matching spicy sausage with a creamy mustard sauce and fragrant basil, British cookbook author Nigel Slater created a quick pasta supper with warm, mildly spicy flavors, perfect for a cool fall or winter evening.

The ripe flavors of a soft, round California Merlot, such as the 1999 Markham or the 1999 Benziger, best complement this hearty pasta.

Ingredients
1 pound penne or medium shells
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 hot Italian sausages, meat removed from casings and crumbled (about 1 1/2 pounds)
3/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons grainy mustard
Pinch of crushed red pepper
1 cup thinly sliced basil
Directions
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente; drain. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet. Add the sausage meat and brown over moderately high heat, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and simmer, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom, until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the cream, mustard and crushed red pepper and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, add the pasta and basil and toss to coat. Serve at once.
