I was supposed to have a work-related function tonight, but plans fell through. However, I'd already decided on a quick meal since I thought I'd be pressed for time. I threw together this Cajun Kielbasa Tomato Sauce with Quinoa Corn Pasta:
Yum! I needed to use the last Tofurkey Kielbasa leftover from the Father's Day grilling session. So I chopped it up and sauteed it with onion, garlic, and a jar of okra and tomatoes (canned by my Granny last season). Spiced with a little Cajun seasoning and habanero hot sauce, this dish was totally delish!
By the way, the pasta is made from quinoa and corn rather than semolina flour. I found it at Wild Oats in the bulk bins. I love how yellow it is! After only eating whole wheat pasta for so long, it's nice to be able to eat a healthy pasta with a traditional pasta color.

good thing your plans changed, then! the pasta looks delicious.
Yum! I bought some quinoa pasta too, which I haven't tried yet, but mine is brown! And the concert was awesome! It was our second time seeing Ringo--first time must have been 10 yrs ago!
You know, I'm Polish--and I love fusion cuisine. But this is the first time I've seen a Polish food used. So djekuje! (Thank you!)
I've never had quinoa-pasta before - looks great!
Hehe your rhyming title cracks me up :o)
wow... i wish i could just THROW together something that was booming with flavor like that (well it looks like its booming with flavor anyway!!!!!)
quinoa pasta?! I'm so glad you posted about it! I have a friend who has to go on a detox diet, gluten-free, and if I find something like this I'm sure she would love it!
ohhhhhh - this looks realllllly good! i need to find this kielbasa - i think it looks awesome. and i miss kielbasa so much.
quinoa corn pasta is something i need to find immediately. i too get a little tired of the 'ol whole wheat stuff. it looks so sad and so boring sometimes.
I love your photo- looks so beautiful and interesting with all the different textures!
That looks good! I love quinoa pasta as well as spelt and brown rice pasta mmm
Sounds good and spicy! I haven't tried the kielbasa yet and will keep an eye out for it.
