Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

Two kinds of Italian sausage are mixed with pasta, tomatoes, onion, red pepper, zucchini and eggplant.

8 ounces hot Italian sausage
8 ounces mild Italian sausage
1 medium onion, sliced
1 small red bell pepper, sliced
1 large zucchini, sliced
1 small eggplant, peeled, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 can (16 ounce size) chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
12 ounces bow tie or corkscrew pasta, cooked
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Remove the casings from the sausage and crumble. Brown the sausage in a medium skillet over medium heat. Drain and set aside the sausage; wipe out the skillet.
Saute the onion, red pepper, zucchini and eggplant in heated olive oil in the skillet for 5 to 7 minutes or until tender-crisp.
Add the tomatoes and basil. Simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the parsley and sausage. Add the pasta; toss to coat well.
Spoon into a serving bowl; sprinkle with the cheese.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

A new family favourite and a crowd pleaser! Delicious recipe as posted but can also be personalized by adding additional ingredients such as mushrooms or extra eggplant and/or zucchini.

This was very tasty. It's not very saucy, so if you are looking for a sauce to cling to the pasta you might want to add some tomato sauce or pasta sauce. You can also make it healthier by using turkey sausage - with all those delicious veggies in it this can be a really healthy dish.
