Smoked Chicken Sausage and Vegetable Pasta Toss

Smoked Chicken Sausage and Vegetable Pasta Toss

by Sarah Gillespy

 

½ pound pasta (I used whole wheat rotini, use your favorite)

¼ onion, sliced

1 heaping Tablespoon garlic, chopped

1 teaspoon of Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning

¼ pound of Teet's Smoked Chicken Sausage, sliced

1 small head of broccoli, chopped

3 fresh on-the-vine tomatoes, diced

a very large handful of arugula

Olive oil

Cook the pasta al dente  in accordance with the directions on the package. 

Heat a bit of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic. Saute them for a few minutes, until lightly browned. Add the smoked chicken sausage and the Slap Ya Mama seasoning. Cook until the sausage is browned. 

Once the pasta is almost ready (a minute or so until al dente), add the broccoli to the same pot. Drain the pasta and the broccoli and transfer them into a large bowl. Add the sausage mixture, fresh tomatoes and arugula. Toss to combine.
