Re: Sausage Tortellini in Tomato Cream Sauce with Spinach
I buy that same brand of canned tomatoes. Decidedly better than most. I also buy the Buitoni stuffed pastas, sometimes their red sauce as well for an extremely quick and easy meal. I will have to try this recipe, and get freshly waxed for the Nutrasystem folk.

I assume the reason you asked this question is because your vision was obscured by several "freshly shot loads."Toddowen wrote:What did you do? Buy some of that Barilla stuff that was on sale?

Re: Sausage Tortellini in Tomato Cream Sauce with Spinach
An addendum from the other board:
I took the leftover sauce and sauted a 1/2 lbs of shrimp in olive oil and garlic then heated up the sauce in the skillet with a little crushed red pepper while I cooked some fettucini. It was outstanding.
"A few pounds of shrimp" would probably be a bit much unless you were planning some sort of Cajun-Italian etouffee which would pretty fucking goddamn good, too.
I say, "Go for it."
The definitive answer is now, yes. Shrimp pairs very well with this sauce. Better than the tortellini I'd say.Jsc810 wrote: Bob couldn't a few pounds of shrimp go in there as well?

Re: Sausage Tortellini in Tomato Cream Sauce with Spinach
I use that brand of tortellini all the time also. I will be trying this sauce. What is the difference between the crema mexicana and the heavy cream? (never used crema mexicana).
Re: Sausage Tortellini in Tomato Cream Sauce with Spinach
Who makes scratch tortellini on a weekday? Not you. You're getting your face painted by homeless nigggers for spare change. Maybe I'm wrong, though. Please, demonstrate your mastery of real Italian food. We're all waiting.Toddowen wrote:Still...it's crap you've picked up at the supermarket, and not handmade by an actual pasta shop.
If you're not on a first name basis with the person who made the tortellini, you are a pretender.
Stick with hearty and chunky Ragu over Prince elbows, along with the 10 dollar wines you know so much about. Because you don't know a thing about real Italian food.
C'mon, Tardd. School us.

Re: Sausage Tortellini in Tomato Cream Sauce with Spinach
So you don't make your own pasta by hand? Right? That's cool. I rarely do myself. It's a lot of work and a huge pain in the ass and stuffed pasta is a ridiculous chore undertaken on only the most special of circumstances. What, exactly, was your point again?Toddowen wrote:Can't you read?
Go to a pasta shop that makes their pasta by hand.
Oh...just go to the neighborhood "pasta shop." And if there aren't any? I guess you go to the grocery store and paper it over with a great sauce.
You're a fucking cum splattered joke.

Re: Sausage Tortellini in Tomato Cream Sauce with Spinach
The spinach was an afterthought. It wasn't included in the recipe I was using. I just saw it in the freezer when I was getting some ice and decided to throw it in at the last minute. It works. And, yes, no garlic. If you knew half as much as you seem to think you know, you would know that "real Italian cooking" doesn't use garlic in every single dish particularly in those from the northern regions of Italy.
In any event, your actual knowledge of "real Italian cooking" is limited to "going to a pasta shop," so I think we can safely discard your opinion as totally worthless.

Re: Sausage Tortellini in Tomato Cream Sauce with Spinach
Not at all. It was a purely aesthetic decision. I wanted a smooth and creamy sauce.Toddowen wrote:Is that necessary?
No more than 45 minutes for this particular sauce. Some sauces only require 25-30 minutes others 3 hours or more. It depends on which notes you wish to emphasize. For a red meat sauce, go ahead and slow simmer that for 3 hours. For a marinara/basic pomodoro sauce, you only need 25 minutes or even less if you use fresh tomatoes.But simmering and reducing is. And you only did that for maybe an hour?
Your ignorance becomes more clearly evident every time you mash submit. No need to take my word for it, though. Go ahead and make the above recipe and simmer it for 3 hours then report back with your results.

CM is a type of soured cream very similar to creme fraiche. It isn't nearly as sour as sour cream and is thinner in consistency. The big advantage over sour cream is that it doesn't break nearly as easily as sour cream does. I use it in beans, chili and stroganov. I also like to dunk fresh strawberries in crema and roll them in brown sugar.trev wrote:What is the difference between the crema mexicana and the heavy cream? (never used crema mexicana).
