We are absolutely in love with the gourmet chicken sausages from Sam’s Club. Over the weekend we picked up a package of Chicken and Apple and a package of Roasted Garlic and Mozzarella. Both are awesome. We look forward to trying the other two varieties. So far we’ve had them straight up, in calzones, and now we’re making our first foray in to pasta.
Ingredients
4 links of roasted garlic and mozzarella chicken sausage (
4 ounces whole wheat penne
1 can fire roasted tomatoes
2 smalls zucchini, diced
2 cups baby bella mushrooms
3 ounces goat cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
Preparation
1. Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil.
2. Add the oil to a large skillet and heat over medium.
3. Add the sausage and zucchini and saute for approximately five minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. As the water comes to a boil, salt it, and add your pasta. Cook according to package instructions, but leave off 1-2 minutes of the cook time.
5. Add the mushrooms to the skillet with the sausage and zucchini. Saute for another 3-5 minutes or until the mushrooms start to get some color and the zucchini begins to soften.
6. Add the can of tomatoes, undrained.
7. Drain the pasta and add to the skillet. Stir to coat with the tomato sauce and simmer.
8. Add the crumbled goat cheese and stir until melted into the sauce.
9. Remove from heat and serve!
