In tribute to the organizations founding member being Italian, I came up with a recipe for the occasion

I call it " 2  Mooks Pasta "

Here's the recipe

1 small bag of 3 cheese Tortelini

2 bags ( normal narrowish sixe ones ) of frozen vegetables -   one bag was stir fry so had some water chestnuts Green & Red peppers. I think between the 2 bags they had carrots, big pieces of onion ( maybe sweet), snap peas maybe? broccoli, squash and maybe Zuchini this was a ton of vegetables

don't think it matters buy what vegetables you like but I think the squash helps on flavor?

I used a package of 5 of Mild Italian sausage links I cooked completely then sliced

Parmesan cheese to taste ( nothing special just out generic table variety

I suggest cooking links first and slicing, then return to its pan and keep as hot as you can w/o over cooking

cook veggies in micro and keep them very warm to hot

last or during veggie cook I would cook pasta in big pan for making spaghetti or potatoes and drain, then immediately return to its pan, add sausage and veggies and mix

then add oregano and basil couple of decent size pinches of ea ? ( or generic italian seasoning to mix)

next add EV olive oil just enough until you get the consistency you like ?

I probably used 3 or 4 good splashes ( prob too much but it tasted good )

Last season with parmesan ( no specific amount just wing it )

Ps this made a ton of food so maybe make half of pasta and one bag?

If you try it out let me know what you think

My wife thought it was maybe 2nd or 3rd best thing she's ever eaten. Then again anything I cook she doesn't have to so they automaticaly score points
