1lbpastaany shape will work – we like the rotelle or penne
1lb.Chicken sausagechopped into bite-sized pieces– the pre-cooked kind that comes in links (we used artichoke parmesan flavor, but Italian sausage or sun dried tomato would be delicious too)
2pintsof cherry or grape tomatoessliced in half
2-4clovesof fresh garlicchopped
2tablespoonsof olive oil
½cupchopped parsley
½cupchopped basil
1cupfreshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
Place cut tomatoes, garlic, and sausage on a cookie sheet (with sides).
Pour the olive oil over the garlic, tomato, and sausage mixture and toss to mix.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake in 375 degree oven for 35 minutes.
Set the water to boil for the pasta and cook according to package directions.
Drain the cooked pasta and pour into a serving bowl or put it back in the pot.
Pour the sauce over the pasta and add the parsley and basil. Mix. You can add the cheese at this point too and mix it all together, but I like to serve it separately and sprinkle over each portion.
Notes
You can also omit the sausage and make this a vegetarian meal. It’s delicious either way!
