Ingredients

Scale

Pasta:

  • 12 oz (340 g) pasta (penne, fusilli, or your choice)

Chicken Sausages:

  • 4 chicken sausages, sliced (Italian-flavored or your preferred type)

Sautéed Vegetables:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 pint (10 oz) cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Chicken Sausages: Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken sausages and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the cherry tomatoes, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
  4. Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken sausages to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine. Add the cooked pasta and toss everything together. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve: Divide the pasta among plates or bowls. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and basil, if desired, and serve warm.
