Zesty pasta step by step

1. Boil water and cook pasta as instructed.

2. Meanwhile, brown sausage and drain. Return sausage to pan (I use Jimmy Deans HOT sausage log). The hot is not hot it just has a better taste with the seasoning in it I think..

3. Combine sausage, mushrooms, all spices, garlic, salsa, Franks Red Hot, and 1/3 of the tomato juice. Let cook, then let simmer for 10 minutes.

4. When pasta is done, drain and return to pot. Then add remaining tomato juice to pasta.

5. Combine sausage mixture to pasta then stir well..

6. Let simmer for another 10 minutes stir a few times.

7. Serve in bowl with graded cheese on top.

8. Enjoy!.

9. Mild, medium, hot salsa of your own taste. I use medium..

10. I generally like to add more but for those who like a kick but not too hot, 5oz is good. You can always add more to taste.

11. This is always a great dish to make. Always a big hit with groups. Makes a big pot and if there are leftovers, the flavors blend more the longer it sits and the spiciness does too..

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Drain the pasta and set aside.

When the butter has melted, add the shrimp and season with the Zesty seasoning.
