Chicken Sausage with Pesto and Veggie Pasta


Yet another quick dinner option. Doesn't get much easier than a box of pasta and a jar of sauce. . .but you can dress it up a bit!!!

I did this by adding to it some light gourmet sausage and a few other simple ingredients. Start to finish. . .20 minutes!

Chicken Sausage with Pesto and Veggie Pasta

1 box of Barilla Carrot and Squash Pipe Pasta
1 jar of Classico Pesto (Of course homemade pesto is way better, but in a pinch this is great!)
1 pkg. of Light Chicken and Provolone Sausage, thinly sliced and saute'd till browned
1 diced red pepper, saute'd with the sausage
1 tsp Franks Red Hot
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Fresh grated parmesan cheese

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and toss in pasta.

2. Meanwhile, saute sausage and pepper until browned.

3. Once pasta is al dente drain, and toss with sausage and peppers, pesto, Franks, and garlic powder.

4. Top with grated parmesan cheese!
