Recently, my homebody friend from Kentucky has turned into a big city girl moving to downtown Boston! Apparently, this move has improved her eating habits substantially! Here is a recipe from the big city - fresh from Erin's kitchen.Thanks, Erin. Can't wait to try this!!!
Erin's Big City Chicken Sausage Pasta
Ingredients:
Tortellini - store bought in a package that you drop in boiling water. I got the generic brand at the grocery for $2.99 ... the package comes with two servings of pasta (each serving was a cup). I got the tri-colored, but they had whole wheat available ... the calories in the tri-colored were only 10 more per serving. I went with the that option because I don't like whole wheat pasta very much:)
Chicken Sausage - one Al Fresco sundried tomato chicken sausage link, sliced into pieces.
Your favorite marinara sauce
Parmesan cheese (grated or shredded)
Olive oil or light cooking spray
Directions:
Start with the pasta as the sausage is already pre-cooked. Drop in boiling water and following simple directions on package. Use a very small amount of olive oil or light cooking spray to grease the frying pan and drop the sausage slices in, flipping pretty quickly.... they don't take but 1-2 minutes. Heat just enough marinara sauce to cover the bottom of the bowl you'll be eating with. Could always use more, but I just like a little and it saves on calories. Drain the pasta and mix in with the marinara. Put the sausage on top and mix in.
Sprinkle with a bit of Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste.
