Episode 4: Spaghetti, Smoked Sausage, and Colby Jack Cheese

DATE: 2/1/2005
PEOPLE: Richard, Derrick, Aaron, John
FOOD 1: Dry Spaghetti
FOOD 2: Smoked Sausages (the Bar 5 hot dog kind)
FOOD 3: Colby Jack Cheese

THE RECIPE:
Hot Dog Spaghetti:
3 smoked sausages, cubed
2 tbsp olive oil
½ cup frozen diced spinach
1 ½ cups milk
1 tsp Italian seasoning
¼ tsp onion powder
½ cup grated Colby Jack cheese
1 package of spaghetti, cooked and ready to eat
Cook the sausage in a moderately deep skillet - one big enough to hold all the ingredients you are going to be putting in. Sautee the spinach in the olive oil and add to the meat. Add the milk and seasonings, bring to a boil, and let simmer for about 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the cheese to the sauce, stir to melt, and serve over pasta.

PREPARATION TIME: 30 minutes

REFLECTION:
This was an easy meal, quick to prepare, simple and filling. These poor boys had been so long without a home cooked meal, it seems almost sad to me. They were so happy to come home and have dinner ready to eat before 8:00.

I thought the sauce was great. It is something that is easy, but I would have never guessed how to make it. Thank you!
