Bacon Mushroom Sauce

Oh I love pasta. Just love it. This sauce is delicious. I usually serve it on Tortellini, but tonight had it on butter nut squash ravioli.

Melt 2 TBSP butter in saucepan.
Add:
1 small onion diced
2-3 cloves minced garlic
Sauté until onion is clear.

Add:
1/3-1/2 package of bacon, trimmed of fat
Sauté for about 4-5 minutes.

Add about 1/2 cup mushrooms sliced. (About 5 large mushrooms)
Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until mushrooms are soft.

Add 2 TBSP flour and mix well.
Add:
1/3 cup cream
1 cup milk

Stir well, and frequently until sauce has thickened.

You can add some fresh Parsley as well right before serving. I didn't tonight.

Enjoy:)

Beefaroni

I wasn't very organized today. If I had been organized I would have either bought or made some type of bread. But I have a baby, and we had swimming lessons today, and that seemed more important.
I did have some tomatoes from my garden that needed to be used. I wanted some sort of pasta, but I wasn't really in the mood to be creative on my own.
So I went searching and came across a recipe on "What's for Dinner"

Homemade Beefaroni

1 lb. ground beef
2 14.5 oz cans tomato sauce
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 c. water
1 T. sugar
1 t. each garlic powder, salt and Italian seasoning
1/4 t. black pepper
1 lb. cooked pasta

I added some cherry tomatoes from my garden cut in quarters.

Brown ground beef in a sauce pan and drain. Stir in remaining ingredients, except the pasta. Simmer for about 10 minutes, to let the flavours combine.

Stir in the pasta until coated.

It would have been good served with bread and salad. But that didn't happen tonight.
