Spicy Sausage Pasta

I was in Florida last week from the 7th until 14th. I had a great time visiting with my family... eating at local eateries and drinking delicious drinks! We visited the The Milk Bar where they host tasty tuesday's, it was the best! I ordered a roasted lamb and beef gyro with fresh herbs and lemon aioli, so good! I also went to a hip restaurant in winter park called Prato. From there I ordered a fungi pizza with arugula, goat cheese and balsamic glaze. I love discovering new places to eat in Orlando while I'm there. I also had some amazing photos taken by the talented Andrea Price! She's a photographer in the central Florida area, and basically my sister. Check out her amazing photography. 

But enough about my trip, and onto this delicious meal.


I found this recipe while browsing Pinterest and thought it would be a great quick fix for dinner. Plus I love smoked sausage and don't cook with it enough.
