"Pasta is my passion and I'm always looking for new sauces to dress it up. Today I came up with this one. It contains one of my favourite chicken and apple sausages made by Applegate Farms. The sausage is mild and totally cooked. Tonight I'm serving mine over spaghetti squash instead of pasta."

ingredients

14.79 ml coconut oil
2 celery hearts (chopped fine)
1 sweet onion (medium dice)
6 button mushrooms (sliced medium)
1 large garlic clove (minced)
793.78 g can chunky tomato sauce
340.19 g package sausage (Applegate Farms Chicken & Apple fully cooked and skinless and chopped)
4.92 ml italian seasoning
118.29 ml sangria (or sweet red wine)
salt and pepper

directions

In a food processor, add the chopped chicken and apple sausage and process until it looks like hamburger. Set aside.
Melt the coconut oil in your saute pan and on medium low, cook the onion and celery until just tender.
Add the garlic, saute for another minute. Add the mushrooms.
Add the salt and pepper and saute until the mushrooms get brown.
Add the can of tomatoes, then the ground chicken and apple sausage.
Then add the Italian seasonings and wine.
Give it all a good stir.
Make sure you taste this to see if it needs more salt. I added a little more salt at this stage.
Simmer for about 10 minutes or until you like the taste.
Serve over your favourite pasta or spaghetti squash. Add some grated cheese for extra flavour.
Bon Appetit!

<img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> I was born in northern Ontario in Canada. I am of Irish /Spanish/French Canadian descent. In 2002, myself, my hubby Stu, and our dog Ginger moved to the high desert of New Mexico. I am a Domestic Engineer and a Professional Artist. I enjoy oldies, classical and jazz music. My hubby is a Professional Jazz and Classical Musician. He plays with the Albuquerque Philharmonic Orchestra which is wonderful because I get to see all his concerts and they are free! We are trying our best to live a Green and Sustainable lifestyle which is no easy feat in a desert. I love any cookbook that promotes good health and tasty meals. I enjoy pasta dishes and sweet vegan deserts. I have found that I am very successful in converting conventional recipes to vegan. This has allowed me to enjoy all types of foods that I other wise could not. Some day we would like to relocate to upstate New York and be closer to my family in Canada and my husbands in New York. My DH retires in 9 years, so nothing will stop us from heading home then :-)
