Utensils Used
| 1. Remove casing from sausage links. Heat skillet, and add links. Break up meat while cooking (like ground beef consistancy) Cook until nicely browned. | 2. Place on paper plate with paper towel to soak up extra grease. Place aside until needed. | 3. Wash tomatoes and slice up into workable size. Place in food processor. | 4. Peel garlic cloves and place in processor with tomatoes. | 5. Cut lemon in half, squeeze juice from one half on top of tomatoes and garlic on food processor. | 6. Wash basil and cilantro. Place herbs in food processor as well. | 7. Process until all tomatoes are chopped up - NOT until smooth. You want a little chunkiness. Sauce will be a little watery. (I have thought about adding a small can of tomato paste or something here to thicken the sauce and make it more like what you would get out of a jar, however I have never tried it so I'm not sure how it would work/taste.). | 8. Wash and cut up pepper. Cut into slices and then cut the slices in half. | 9. Place tomato sauce in pan and add in meat. Heat for 5-10 minutes over medium heat until warm. Add in pepper for a few minutes and cook until desired firmness. (I only put them in for about 2-3 minutes as I like them just warm, and still crunchy.). | 10. Mix sauce with warm pasta, stir in pesto and serve ENJOY! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
