Heavy Cream

Rice Pudding

by 3 Comments

Rice pudding to me is a comfort food. The creaminess and the strong taste of cinnamon just warms me through and through. I love adding fresh fruit to the pudding, my favorite being strawberries, but raspberries and blackberries are delicious as well. I know this is more of a dessert than anything, but I do enjoy having this for breakfast. I remember as a kid having rice for breakfast. You would add milk, brown sugar and raisins to the rice and that was breakfast. I still eat it that way today. This recipe is a creamier version of what I had as a kid.

I have a love of pasta, maybe it’s more of an obsession, depends on what day of the week it is. This pasta dish is just pure heaven, the heavy cream just brings all the flavors together but you still taste the freshness of the tomatoes with the great seasoning of the sausage. Enjoy!
