I had my little Christmas party for my Jewelry Buyers and some others that help me all year at the Q. As always, we had a great time….we laughed a lot and ate a lot and drank a little too!
This year, instead of my Lasagna (recipe here)– I made 3 different types of pastas with three different types of homemade sauces; a big salad and of course sausage (sweet and hot), peppers, onions and potatoes.
Just a little bite to eat. 
If you want to try two of these sauces, the one on the left is my Red Sauce:
Antonella's Red Sauce
Ingredients:
1 can crushed tomatoes | 2 cloves fresh garlic |
Directions: Warm everything in a pot, except for the fresh herbs. Add them about 5 minutes before you take the sauce off the heat. They'll wilt and burn out if you add them too early. Pour over pasta. Add freshly grated cheese, if desired, and serve.
And the one in the right foreground is my Summer Sauce:
Antonella's Summer Sauce
Ingredients:
6 farm/garden fresh tomatoes
1/2 ball of mozzarella
1 garlic clove
1/2 tsp. oregano
4 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 stick butter
1 Tbsp. fresh chopped parsley
1/2 cup fresh chopped basil
Salt and pepper
Directions:
In a bowl, combine peeled, cubed tomatoes, softened butter, and olive oil. Cube the mozzarella and add to the mixture. Crush garlic clove and add, then chop the parsley and basil and add them as well. Use salt and pepper to taste.
Place sauce in a Lock & Lock container and shake vigorously. Let it sit at room temperature for several hours. Pour over one pound of fettuccine and sprinkle with Romano cheese.
The ziti was just a mushroom sauce I put together with some ingredients around my kitchen…don’t know if I could even duplicate it!

A shot of my tree…. Look at all those QVC boxes!!!! LOL 
And finally, the whole crazy gang! 
From our hearts and homes to yours, here is our wish for a Merry Christmas and a Healthy,
Happy New Year!
