One of the perks, beyond the nutritional benefits, of making your own whole wheat semolina pasta?  The kids approve!  My kids are spoiled to the point that the stuff out of the box just doesn’t sit well with them.  I hope they continue to enjoy a lifelong appreciation for homemade foods and avoiding the processed stuff whenever possible.

For this recipe, I just tossed some local organic kale and parsley with garlic, olive oil, a pat of butter, and some Field Roast brand veggie sausage.  Used a little starchy pasta water to make it all come together and tossed it over handmade pappardelle with some parmesan from the store (grate your own, never buy pre-grated!). 

The vote was unanimous.
