Chicken Sausage & Veggie Pasta
April 12, 2012
This was a super quick meal that will save you time (fast!) and worry (low calorie dinner!) during the week. It came together and was on the table in less than 30 minutes. And it was SO good…my friend’s girls both went back for seconds!
You could really mix it up and add different and/or more veggies if you prefer; this is just what I had on hand. Delicious!
Ingredients:
1 package Italian flavored chicken sausage (usually an 8pk; and I use the 90 cal sausages from Costco)
2 cups dry Dreamfields Penne Rigate Pasta
3 cups, chopped broccoli
1 cup red bell pepper, sliced
½ cup fat free Zesty Italian Dressing
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (more or less depending on taste)

Made this last night and it was a hit. Having leftovers for lunch now. A few small changes like different brands and I removed chicken sausage links from casing and prepared ground. will definitely make again and again. Why does the Pinterest post say no Italian dressing?
