Cavatappi Pasta with Turkey Italian Sausage, Mushrooms, Tomatoes, and Kale

by Pam on November 8, 2012

I had a craving for pasta so I decided to look through the refrigerator to see what I had on hand. I found some turkey Italian sausage, mushrooms, Parmesan and just a bit of kale. I also grabbed some grape tomatoes and garlic off the counter and some pasta out of the pantry. This meal took less than 20 minutes to make and was hearty, tasty, and healthy – you can’t beat that! The whole family enjoyed it and we gobbled it right up.

Cook the pasta in salted water per instructions. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of liquid.

While the pasta is cooking, heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the sausage from it’s casings and place into the skillet and cook, breaking it up into smaller pieces. Cook until it browns, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden brown. Add the minced garlic, tomatoes, and kale, and cook for about 3 more minutes. Add the broth to the skillet and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Add the cooked/drained pasta to the skillet, and toss to coat evenly. Add some of the reserved pasta water if needed. Place into serving bowls and top with Parmesan cheese. Enjoy.

Linguine In Tomato Sauce with Chicken Sausage, Blistered Tomatoes, Kale, and Mozzarella Pearls

by Pam on May 29, 2013

I made a “clean your fridge out” dinner last night. I found some kale, onion, mozzarella pearls, and chicken sausage links in the refrigerator and grabbed some leftover linguine, a can of tomatoes, garlic, and grape tomatoes from the pantry and threw them all together. I loved the flavor of the garlicky tomato sauce with the tasty pieces of chicken sausage, sweetened blistered cherry tomatoes, and the creamy mozzarella pearls. I served this pasta with the Gourmet Salad^[1] and it turned out to be a terrific meal that we all enjoyed. I had some of the leftover pasta today for lunch and it was delicious.

Blend the can of whole tomatoes with a blender or an immersion blender. Set aside.

Heat a small Dutch oven that’s coated in cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the chicken sausage links and cook until all sides are golden brown, about 6-7 minutes. Remove from the heat and place on a cutting board with a tin foil tent. Add a teaspoon of olive oil in the same Dutch oven then add the grape tomato halves. Cook, flipping the tomatoes halfway through cooking, for about 2-3 minutes or until blistered. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the pan then add the onion; cook, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic, crushed fennel seeds, and crushed red pepper flakes, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Add the blended tomatoes then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste and a pinch of sugar if desired. Cover with a lid and turn the heat to low; simmer for 30 minutes. Slice the sausages into bite sized chunks then add them along with the kale to the tomato sauce.

Prepare the linguine in salted water per package instructions. Drain then add to the tomato sauce. Mix until well combined. Taste and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, if needed. Toss in the mozzarella pearls and the blistered grape tomatoes then serve immediately. Enjoy.

Roasted Grape Tomatoes and Zucchini Topped with Feta and Chives

by Pam on April 29, 2013

I wanted a simple, healthy, and quick side dish to pair with the chicken and orzo I was making for dinner. I grabbed a zucchini and a container of grape tomatoes along with some feta and chives. I simply roasted the seasoned veggies for 15 minutes then topped them with fresh chives and feta cheese. My kids don’t care for zucchini so they weren’t impressed with this side dish. My husband and I, on the other hand, both loved it and thought it paired nicely with the rest of our dinner.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a small baking dish with cooking spray.

Place the grape tomatoes, zucchini, and minced garlic in the baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, sea salt, and fresh cracked pepper, to taste. Toss to coat the veggies evenly.

Place into the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and pour them into a serving bowl. Top with feta cheese and fresh chives. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
