Sausage Pasta Primavera

This Sausage Pasta Primavera recipe made using chicken sausages is an easy and amazing meal for celebrating Easter Eve!

Sausage Pasta Primavera

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! 

Alright, so Easter Eve I decided to try out a new recipe that I adapted from here.  It was so tasty that I had to share it with all of you.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb of sausage (½ sweet & ½ hot) out of casings and cubed
  • 1/2/onion chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 yellow squash chopped
  • 1 zucchini chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 6 plum tomatoes chopped
  • 20 leaves of basil chopped
  • pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1 chicken bouillon cube
  • ¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • whole wheat pasta of choice (we went with rotini)

How to make Sausage Pasta Primavera

Start out by browning the sausage in a large skillet.  I used a turn of the pan with Evo.  Make sure to take the sausage out of the casings.  I hate biting into a piece of sausage that had it's casing left on.  Once the sausage is browned set aside.  Start boiling the water for the pasta and then add the pasta when it's boiled.   Cook the pasta according to the box.

On medium high heat sauté the onion and garlic in the same pan that the sausage came from.  You should not need any olive oil because of the oil left from the sausage.  Once the onion and garlic are iridescent add the squash, zucchini, tomatoes, red bell pepper and basil.  Add in the chicken bouillon cube, pinch of red pepper flakes and the ¼ cup of olive oil and cook on medium for about ten minutes.

Combine the pasta and sausage back into the skillet.  Add the Parmesan cheese and cook through so everything is warm (about 5 minutes).

You can top with Parmesan cheese or have everyone add their own.

This was our Easter Eve meal with neighbors that are getting married in August.  Riley is the flower girl for their wedding and she adores both of them, which is rarity nowadays with her finicky two year personality.  It was a wonderful meal with good friends.

    This looks really good. I like that you used whole wheat pasta. I always try to use whole wheat, I feel it doesn't taste that different and its healthier. Thanks for sharing at Showcase Your Talent Thursday. I hope to see you next week!
