Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I live in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle on an Urban Farm (w/ five laying hens and a huge garden). I am a trained chef (w/ a certificate in food preservation), taught at a cooking school & like to share 'kitchen hacks' - culinary tips that save time, money & maximize flavor. If that isn't enough, I also run a food+tech startup called Barn2Door.com - a platform to help everyone easily find & buy food directly from farmers, fishers & ranchers (from CSA's to urban farm eggs to 1/2 a grass-fed cow).

So easy to make, simple enough that the kids---or guests---will love it. I use mild, Italian sausage. If it comes in a casing, remove sausage from casing.

Sausage Cream Pasta 1 pound sweet sausage 1/2 c. chopped onion 3 T butter 2 T olive oil 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 5-10 grindings of course pepper from mill Big pinch kosher salt 1 LB pasta, cooked according to directions Serve with: pepper, fresh Parmesan, grilled tomatoes

Place onion, oil, butter in skillet ovr medium for 10 minutes. Add sausage, crumble, and cook for 10 more minutes. Add salt, pepper, cream. Saute until thickened, stirring occasionally.
