Italian Sausage Pasta Side

Source: Mom's kitchen

Tried it: YES

My thoughts: Delicious. This could be a main dish, but is great served as a hearty side as well.


Zuppa Toscana

Source: Mom's kitchen

Tried it: YES

My thoughts: Yum.

After trying (and loving) Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana, Mom went home and figured out this recipe. I like spice, so I added a few traditional Italian sausage spices to the mix when I made this: paprika, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. I might even skip the sweet and use entirely hot Italian sausage next time.

(Others have tried to figure out this recipe as well. Click here for another "copycat" recipe from restaurant.food.com.)
