Kielbasa Pasta

Weekends are made to concoct larger dinner entrees in hopes they'll be a few leftovers to feed the masses in future days.   This gives you a sense of peace, as you don't have to be a walking waitress finding lunch or snack ideas for those you love.  If you have two teenage boys as I do, dinners invariably see little remains that can be packed away for a lunch or late night snack.

I am always on the lookout for recipes that engage the senses, and when micro waved  again, lose little taste value.  This recipe is a tried and true favorite.  What doesn't get eaten on dinner night, is readily consumed the following day. 

1 tab. oil
2 large handfuls of Frozen Seasoning Blend
1/2 pound of Kielbasa (freeze remaining 1/2 for future use)
1/2 6 oz. can tomato paste
1   8 oz. can tomato sauce
1  14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 cup water
1 tsp. Italian seasoning blend
1 tsp. basil
salt and pepper to taste
1 box of favorite pasta
1 to 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese

Slice  kielbasa  into 1/2 inch rounds.  Fry with Frozen Seasoning Blend with oil for 5 minutes.  Add tomato products and spices.  Allow to cook for 20 minutes.  Boil noodles according to package directions.  Place 3/4 of the noodles into sauce that has been cooking.  Place the rest in the refrigerator for a quick snack.  Place shredded cheese on top and cover.  Allow to cook until cheese melts.
