This month’s PunkWife is truly a unique pick, because she’s actually not married in the traditional sense. But that’s part of what makes her our Punk. She’s in a solid relationship, she lives her best life, and the only thing ‘missing’ is the fancy party and the piece of paper – which doesn’t seem to be an issue for her. She’ll tell you in her own words, below.
What makes you your own little version of Punk? I think my overall outlook on relationships, and marriage puts me a little outside of the box. I have never wanted to get married and at this point in my life I’m pretty sure that is where I will always stand. I have, however, always wanted to find someone to share my life with. I have been fortunate enough to find someone to do that with. We have been together for about 6 years and the biggest questions we get from everyone is “When are you going to get married?”. My response is always the same: “We aren’t”. I feel like sometimes that makes me a bit of an outcast in society but I’ve never doubted my decisions nor has he. We work just the way we are and we couldn’t be happier.

Tell us your favorite go-to recipe. Rigatoni in a pink cream sauce with sausage and peas. It’s normally called Pasta Buttera in a restaurant and it’s one of my all time faves! It’s extremely simple, too. First you saute a small white onion in a little bit of olive oil. Then you brown up crumbled hot and/or sweet sausage (whatever your fancy), usually about 6 links. Once browned, de-glaze with white wine. Next you add a small can of tomato paste and 1 1/2 to 2 cups of water (depends on how thick you like your sauce). Add salt, pepper and red pepper flakes (optional) to taste. Last but not least you add about 1/2 cup of heavy cream and some grated cheese. I usually run frozen peas under hot water and then leave them in the strainer. I poor the boiling pasta into the strainer to cook the peas the rest of the way. Then just add sauce to pasta and enjoy!
