We got home from our vacation Sunday afternoon. For dinner we needed something simple for which we had all the ingredients on hand. I made a pasta sauce with a large can of crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, minced garlic and chopped onions. There was also a bit of red wine splashed in. It seemed like it could use something else, though. Looking through the freezer I found a couple of hot Italian sausages which I defrosted in the microwave, cut up, and then let cook in the sauce. John cooked up the penne which we added to half of the sauce (the other half will probably appear later this week) and we had a simple but delicious dinner.

It is good to be home and making our own dinners.
