CROATIAN SAUSAGE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease; set aside.
• Whisk together the baking mix, salt, pepper, cayenne or Cajun seasoning, sage and parsley.
• Add the cheeses and mix well, then stir in the sausage and 1/4 cup of the milk, adding only enough milk as needed to bring mixture together, but not be soupy.
• Shape into small balls, about the size of a walnut, approximately one inch. I use a cookie scoop just to make it easier. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart about an inch.
• Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until well browned, switching trays around in the oven halfway through if needed.
• Remove from oven and drain on several layers of paper towels. Can be served warm or at room temperature, as is or with a spicy orange Jezebel dipping sauce or your own favorite dipper.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, olive oil, and cabbage; season with salt and pepper; cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the sausage and bow tie pasta; cook until completely heated, about 5 minutes more. Top with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
