Bon Appetit has put a pay wall over their stuff so I can't really view this that much anymore but its a really quick and easy way to make store-bought tortellini into the most tasty meal.
I made it last night sans sage without looking at the recipe (due to the paywall) by melting a stick of butter over medium heat, putting in 3 minced cloves of garlic and whisking while swirling the pan until the butter browns. I turned off the heat then added salt, pepper and 2 tsp of apple cider vinegar to the sauce and tossed the cooked tortellini in it until it was coated in the sauce.

I love this recipe as it’s pretty easy to whip up! All you have to do is roast butternut squash and blend it up with some sage, rosemary, an onion and pasta. I like to make some brown butter bread crumbs for a lil fun topping.

total time: idk 🤷🏻♂️ not that long, up to 2 hrs if you really wanna get your sauce simmerin. there’s a lot of this you could cut out or do less of for time trust your heart
Directions -
start by filling a pot with water and salt and brining to boil. watch it as you start the rest and cut the heat once it reaches boil until you’re ready to start with the pasta. cutting both pieces of bacon in half and cooking in a deep pan. chop an onion while the bacon cooks. once the bacon is cooked, take it out and toss in the onions. let the onions cook and chop the baby bellas while they do. once onions are transparent, maybe a bit of brown, toss in the mushrooms to cook. while they cook, prep your spices. my blend tonight was an assortment of my spice cabinet as so persuaded, but I started by blooming the cumin, paprika, chili powder, garam masala, and rosemary in the cooking mushrooms and onions. after the spices become aromatic, toss in the whole lil thing of tomato paste. don’t save like half for later in the fridge, it will get moldy I promise. once you’ve incorporated everything in the pan into the paste, toss in a lil water from the pasta pot to break it up. then bring the heat up to a high medium and add the tomato sauce, cover with a pan while the sauce cooks down. taste every once in a while and add whatever spices you please but I added the soy sauce, msg, umami spice, salt, pepper, italian herb and spice blend, a scoop or harissa, a couple scoops of olive pesto, butter, and ocasionally pasta water at this stage. while the sauce cooks down, chop up the sausages and then get them sautéed in a pan. once the sauce tastes how you like and is dark and thick, toss the pasta in the boiling water until cooked to your preferred done-ness. i used rotini but use whatever shape tickles your fancy as per the perfectlyimperfect ask today. once pasta is cooked, drain and reserve a bit of pasta water to loosen the sauce a tad. set the pasta aside until the sauce finishes. once the sauce looks ready, toss like half a big bag of chopped kale in there. take out the stems before this. let em shrink in the sauce and also toss in some frozen peas. once that’s all introduced, toss in the sausages and the bacon if you could resist eating the bacon while you cooked (I could not). now you’ll have the picture below and you can toss it all over a big plate of pasta. top with grated parmesan, salt and pepper to taste.

Just made this and it was SO GOOD it's so quick and easy and has very few ingredients. I discovered my garlic had gone bad so made this and it actually worked better without I think! Only takes ten minutes. This serves one:
Ingredients: 12ish pomodorini tomatoes, olive oil, pasta (fusilli works best for the texture), red wine (old, cheap, nasty is fine), garlic salt
1. Start cooking your fusilli for around ten mins
2. Quarter around 12 pomodorini tomatoes
3. Heat olive oil in a wide low pan on medium heat. Throw in tomatoes when hot enough and stir lots so they don't stick. Add a generous sprinkle of garlic salt
4. Turn heat up high and add a splash of red wine
5. Once pasta has been cooking at least five mins add a big spoon or two of pasta water in with tomatoes. Stir til combined and turn down the heat to low/medium when it has reduced and starts bubbling
6. Add in about 50ml of double cream and stir til well combined and heated
7. Once pasta is done put it in with sauce and stir til well combined
8. I like salt so I also add some Maldon salt flakes on top 👌

Its a web app that people submit 1 song per week and then everyone gets to vote on the all the different songs but their own. After all the rounds have been completed, the person with the most votes wins! Its a fun way to share music with people and get competitive. Been using this app with other online communities and friends for a few months and have really been enjoying it.
NOTE: I created a PI.FYI League where the first submission is this friday. I limited it to 25 people for now not sure if I should open that up to more but it would be pretty overwhelming to have more than 25 songs to listen and vote on. The join link is attached to this rec!
