We had what we call tasso pasta for Wednesday night's dinner. We use our homemade tasso, which is slices of pork butt with a packed on (and I do mean packed on) cure of various Cajun spices, and yes it has lots of cayenne, cures for several days in fridge and then gets smoked. The rest of the dish is made up of carrots, onions, zucchini and yellow squash, garlic, cream, chicken broth and parm cheese, with pasta obviously. No need for any other spices or herbs, the tasso cure has plenty of everything. Just realized we've never taken a picture of this. If Dogboa left me any for breakfast, he really likes this and had seconds last night, and probably had some for breakfast already, I'll take a pic to post. Not the prettiest dish in the world, but sure is tasty.
