Turkey Sausage Pasta Dish

 I know this dish may not look and sound like much but it really was quite tasty. We had some fresh turkey sausage links from a meat CSA (community supported agriculture) box we got this year and I wanted to come up with some way to use it that didn't require cheese since there was already feta in the sausage. I read a few pasta/sausage dish recipes and cobbled together one of my own using my favorite ingredients. 

 


Ingredients:

1 onion; diced

6 small sweet peppers; sliced

1 clove garlic, minced

6 mushrooms; sliced

5 feta spinach turkey sausage links (or sausage links of your choice); sliced

1 box pasta 

1 small head of broccoli; cut into florets

2 cups chicken broth 

 

1. Saute the onions, peppers, garlic, mushrooms & sausage together. 


 2. In a separate pan boil the box of pasta according to package directions and drain. 

3. Once the sausage is fully cooked and the vegetables are browned, add in the 2 cups of chicken broth and the broccoli florets bring to a boil and cook until broccoli is soft and broth has boiled down some. Make sure to scrape up all the pan drippings from browning the vegetables.   



3. Combine drained pasta with the vegetables, sausage, and broth and serve hot.  

I know it doesn't look like much but the broth gives the whole dish a really nice flavor. The muted flavor profile allows the sausage to take center stage. We enjoyed it a lot.

    I love one dish meals and sausage is so great for it! I usually cook my pasta along with my meat and veggies, adding in a little more water to the sauce. Yours looks really good!

      Aw, thank you! I find that I add more vegetables to just about any recipe I find anywhere.

    Joanne, this dish looks so good and thanks for sharing the recipe. We love sausage and made sausage, onions, and potato bake for dinner. I hope you have a nice weekend.

    This looks really good though Mike doesn't like turkey (except for smoked turkey). I could substitute another protein. Thanks for another great recipe!

      Absolutely! Any kind of sausage or meat would work well.

      Thank you! It can be so hard this time of year to get good photos now that all natural lighting is gone by 4 in the afternoon.

      That's understandable. Have you considered getting a small speedlight for your camera with a mini modifier? I use that outside for macro photography but it also works inside too.

      I haven't mostly because I just use my phone but I did try a light box a couple of years ago and that was definitely not working with food photography. So many glares all over..

    This looks delicious and it also looks like something that our kiddos would love! I'll have to try it without the mushrooms, though, since none of us like those. They would be easy to omit, though!

      They would be very easy to omit! My boys don't like them at all either but I just love them so I try to sneak them in (and they pick them out).

    Wow, this looks great. Much better than my usual 'just butter and a sprinkle of cheese' on my pasta.

North Carolina Trip: Highs & Lows

Image
Evan and I headed to North Carolina for 4 days from Saturday February 21st until Tuesday February 24th... or so we thought. It was just a"quick trip" to see family... but a blizzard hit at home and we could not find a flight back home to the airport I had parked at until very, very late Friday February 27th and we arrived home at 2 am on February 28th.  Evan had been asking to go down "one last time" to see his cousins before he starts college in the fall and we were able to make that happen. My sister, her husband, and her two teen/young adult sons had just moved in January and live much closer to my mom now so we figured this was the perfect time to go. I only had to pay for flights and my mom offered to chauffeur us around for the weekend plus got their spare bedrooms set up for us to stay with them. I thought this would be a cheap trip as well but added airfare costs, much longer parking at the airport, and filling our days with things to do added up quickly.  W...

15 Family Restaurant Games

Image
When my boys were little and we'd take them out to eat I kept a small bag of toys in the car to grab on our way into any restaurant.  That way they would be entertained and a bit quieter while we enjoyed our meal. Now that the boys are older we don't keep a bag of toys handy but we do have few games we use to keep the boys occupied if they start getting bored or squirmy while we're waiting for our food or our check. While there are many phone apps, portable gaming systems and electronic games that could occupy my kids we prefer to use the time together at restaurants to connect with one another and so we tend to play games like: Hangman--   any restaurant that has paper place mats works well for this.  We take turns picking  a word and drawing our hangman stand then take turns calling out letters and seeing if we can solve the puzzle.   Tic Tac Toe-- This works best with pen on paper place mats but we have played making a grid with butter knives ...

Share Our Lives: How I Stay Connected with My Spouse

Image
This month for Share Our lives we're talking about staying connected. I decided to focus on how my husband and I have stayed connected all these years. We began dating at 16 which means we've been together more than 30 years!   From the time my boys were very young I was very aware of the fact that my marriage was meant to be my lifelong relationship and while I'd obviously have a relationship with my boys for their whole lives as well (I hoped!) I knew it was my job to raise them to leave. The whole point of parenthood is to send our kids out into the world so while I wanted a strong relationship with all 4 of my guys I never lost sight of the fact that for me, my most important relationship was that with my husband.    Basically, it all boils down to I've never stopped dating my husband.     a date night outfit   We made sure to schedule date nights as often as we could. Something that is so easy now that used to take weeks of planning (and hopi...

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Share 4 Somethings in February

Image
It's the last Saturday of the month and time for Share 4 Somethings with Jenn. This year we're sharing something we loved, something that sustained us, something we're carrying forward, and something we're making space for each month.   Hopefully I am home sleeping in my own bed when this publishes. Evan and I are supposed to land by midnight and be home by 1 am or so this morning.   I'm limited with the photos on my phone. But I didn't want to not participate.  It's been an unusual month for sure with the blizzard impacting so much.  Something I loved:  We spent a few afternoons with friends this month and saw Clark campus again.  I LOVED spending time with my family in North Carolina... even if we day stay much longer than planned.      Something that sustained me: craft projects, good books, and a good attitude. Oh and my phone.  I've relied on that so much this past w...
