Kraut and Kielbasa Pasta

Tonight, I was in a quite a rush to get dinner made because I have too much to get done tonight I couldn't waste too much time in the kitchen. So I scoured the freezer looking for what to make.  I pulled out Kielbasa and threw it into a pot of boiling water.  Noodles with Kielbasa in my family is a must, so I threw them in.  Then I thought, how can i jazz this up a bit?  Well, here it goes - 

A kraut cream sauce!

Ingredients

• Rotini pasta
• 1 package of Kielbasa
• 1 can of cream of mushroom soup
• 3 to 4 oz of sauerkraut
•  1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1/2 green pepper, sliced
• 1 tsp. garlic minced
• 4 tbsp. water
• 2 tbsp. milk

Directions

1. First, put on two pots of water for the kielbasa and the rotini pasta. Bring them both to a boil then add the kielbasa to one and the rotini to another.  
2. Now, in a separate pan, saute the peppers and garlic until the peppers are softened.  
3. Toss in the spinach and saute for about 1 minute. 
4. Add the mushroom soup and water, stir until well mixed.  Let simmer for about 3 - 5 minutes.
5. Add in the Kraut to taste by stirring it in.  If you add too much it may get very acidic, so taste as you go! (That's a key part of being a chef... just make sure you're always using a clean spoon!) 
6. If it looks too thick for your liking, add the hint of milk! 

And in less than 30 minutes I had a delightful meal! And to think, looking into the freeze blindly could bring such inspiration!

Until we eat again,
