Ever craved something spicy? How about something so spicy that’s enjoyable but scares the nice guys away? Or makes a chaotic family member behave? Well you’re in luck! Let’s make the La Bomba!
I made this once in a bout of depression. I was at one of my lowest points in my life. I had entered medical school and Marie and Alexis at this point in time had left for greater things. My dad, in sensing my sadness… bought me a cookbook. I learned to cook so many dishes. In the past, I’ve always looked through his books of ancient Mesopotamian recipes and through time, recreated a majority of them successfully! The dishes in this book were a little easier to follow, and I enjoyed them as much! And eventually decided to make my own. I figured I need to “spice up my life” like the Spice Girls said, so I added lots of pepper and crumbled sausages.. Thus, La Bomba was born!
I love my father very much. Even if I’ve chosen a different path in life, he’s begrudgingly proud of me. However, there are times where he irritates me, particularly when he complains about a certain Serena. Whenever I hear him playing victim, I have the bowl ready. When he’s being stubborn, I also have the bowl ready. He knows what’s coming :).
My friend Dr S. Frost has been having a problem for a while now. While Cipher Spy has proven to be quite a gentleman, a troubling “nice guy” named Flex has been coming into her inbox, trying to flirt with her in the cringiest way possible. Like seriously, it is so cringe. God I want to yeet him so far. So far, me and the others have been making fun of him, as there’s no way he can actually get a date from her. But let’s take it to another step and make him see if he’s worth his bragging rights or right to “flex”!
2-4 whole cloves of garlic, roasted
3 large tomatoes, roasted and sliced
1 pack of Premio Sweet Italian Sausage
1 tbsp of red pepper flakes
3 tbsps of chili powder (I use Thai for a kick!)
One small can of tomato paste
Slice the tomatoes and pepper and peel garlic. Put in a tray lined with foil and drizzle well with olive oil. Roast at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, chop up the onions and take the skin off the sausages. Once skin is off, pound it and use your hand to mush them together into a lump.
Turn on stove and drizzle olive oil, then drop in diced onions. When slightly translucent, add in sausages and use what you got (wooden spoon or ladle* to separate it into smaller chunks. Basically fry them until sausages are slightly burnt or brown.
Once tomatoes, pepper and garlic are done roasting, put them in a blender and blend until smooth.
While you’re browning the sausage, fill a pot with water and wait for it to boil. Once boiling, add your pasta and let it boil for 7-8 minutes.
Once the sausage is browned, add in tomato paste, chili powder and red pepper flakes. Then add wine. Stir until alcohol has completely cooked.
Add in sauce mixture and mix until well incorporated. Then add 1 cup of pasta water and stir well until sauce is thick. Add pasta and mix unless you’re making something Instagram worthy. In that case, add it separately
There we go! That should serve about 5-6 servings! :)))) SUFFER FLEX >:)))
