This afternoon I drafted my menu and grocery list for the coming week. It must have been the gloomy weather that lead me to plan comfort food for the week. Tonight we had penne pasta with Roasted Garlic sauce, and crumbled hot italian sausage topped with a little fresh Parmesan cheese.

For pasta sauce, my absolute favorite is Ben's family recipe. Since it takes several hours to make, we only have that a few times a year. For our everyday pasta sauce I choose the Classico brand. Every once in a while I branch away and try something else, but they are usually more expensive and don't taste that much better in my opinion. I usually stick with the Spicy Tomato & Basil flavor, but today tried the Roasted Garlic. It was good too, but both Ben and I preferred the spicy variety. In looking at the Classico product line just now, I see that there is a Spicy Tomato & Pesto sauce. I'll have to look for that one too. I LOVE PESTO!
