Seafood and Sausage Pasta

Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tomatoes,
1 cup chopped onion
1 rib celery
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 tbsp chopped jalapeno
2 cloves garlic minced
8-oz can tomato sauce
1/2 cup seafood stock
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp chopped basil
1/2 lb andouille sausage
cayenne
1.2 lb shrimp

Directions
In a large saucepan or deep skillet, heat the olive oil. Saute the tomatoes, onion celery, green pepper, jalapeno and garlic until the veggies are limp, about 5 minutes. add the tomato sauce, seafood stock, salt, pepper, basil and sausage and cook until tomato is cooked down and liquids are reduced, forming and thick, rich broth 10-15 mins. Taste and adjust seasonings. If you want spicier, add cayenne in 1/8 tsp increments.

While the sauce is simmering cook fettucine. It's pasta, I don't need to spell this out for you.

Add the shrimp to the sauce and cook just until they are opaque and slightly curled, 2-3 minutes. serve.

Comments
This is a super good recipe from a Cajun Cooking book. Make sure the sauce gets really thick before serving. It's also possible to add mussels and clams to this one.
