- One 12oz box of pasta
One 14.5oz can diced tomatos
One package (four pieces, 12oz) chicken sausage
vegetable oil
I prefer tricolor rotini for mine, and the tomatoes I use generally come with herbs or a bit of extra-mild chili included. Chicken sausage comes in a variety of flavors, I prefer garlic & herb or sweet Italian.
- Set the entire box of pasta to cook in a pot of water
while the pasta is cooking, cut the sausage into pieces
cut half the sausage pieces into halves, and the other half into quarters
with a bit of oil, toss the sausage into a wide, deep pan and begin frying
be sure to keep an eye on the pasta while you cook the sausage!
If the sausage finishes before the pasta, reduce heat and keep stirring
drain the pasta (if the sausage is not done yet, leave the pasta aside until the sausage finishes cooking)
mix pasta, sausage, and tomatoes together in pan
remove from heat
serve immediately or store for later
