Summertime Pasta
Welcome to our kitchen! If you’re here from Follow Me Back Tuesday please come in, take a look around, leave us a comment so we know you were here! Ok, now back to our show…
I don’t know why I equate italian sausages with summer but, well, I do. It makes me think of firing up the grill, or going to a ball game, or hitting the food stands at the town fair. I love me some sausage, so does the fam, but sometimes I need to find a different way of making it then the good ol’ grilled standby.
Enter the Summertime Pasta. It’s a one dish meal and it’s so so good. I just threw a whole bunch of stuff in the fridge into the pan and viola, a delicious dinner is on the table. Enjoy.
1 lb penne pasta
1 T olive oil
1 lb bulk italian turkey sausage (hot or mild)
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 onion sliced thin
8 0z mushrooms, sliced
1/2 T red pepper flakes
1 t dried oregano
2-3 T dry vermouth (or you could use white wine)
1 cup chicken stock
S&P
parmesan cheese
1 bunch baby arugula
Set a large pot of water on to boil for your pasta. When it’s hot season the water with salt, add pasta and cook until al dente.
In a large pot heat your olive oil over medium high heat. Crumble in your sausage and cook until well browned. Once browned (about 8 minutes or so) add in your onions, mushrooms, and zucchini. Allow veggies to soften a bit, about 5 minutes then add in your garlic and cook for an additional minutes. Season with red pepper flakes, oregano, and S&P. Deglaze with vermouth and allow to cook out for a minute or so. Add in your chicken stock and bring down the heat and allow to simmer while your pasta finishes cooking.
Drain your pasta and add to the sausage sauce. Mix well and then serve on a small plate. Top with arugula and shaved parmesan cheese then sprinkle with a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Mmmm good!

we just had sausage on the grill for dad’s day! love the pasta and arugula. and of course anything that includes parmesan cheese is a winner.
I just love Italian sausage! Nice thing is.. it reminds me of all seasons! Guess that might be from growing up with an Italian Mom and Grandma though! This pasta looks and sounds fantastic!
Yum, might have to try that soon

Hi There! Thanks so much for stopping by my site. The recipe looks delicious, but my boys have sworn an oath to not put anything green into their mouths. I could always add the green stuff later to only my plate I suppose lol. Thanks for sharing, because it does look like something I would really like to try.

Hi following you back from FMBT. Thanks for visiting Fashionably Organized.
Mmmm… looks yummy! Thanks for the comment… returning the favor! I am now a follower… I’m off to rummage around your site! : )
OK, now I’m hungry, I’m going to have to try this.
Do your kids really eat this? It doesn’t look like something I would have ate when I was a kid.
Ha, Kat, they do eat it. Well my oldest picks out the arugula, but the other two eat everything on it…It’s been a long road, but the rule in our house is you don’t have to eat it, but you have to try it. Most of the time they eat it, especially if they helped make it.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am now following you back. : )
Following you back! Yum! I look forward to reading more!
I am following you back. Thanks for stopping by.
So cool about your husband playing hockey with David Boreanz. There are a lot of things I would like to do with DB and hockey isn’t one of them. Ah well. Anyway, very interesting. If you delved at all, I am responding to receiving the Plastic Joy Award (in my own unique way) by revealing my fictional crushes. You’re supposed to keep it to five. My fellow blogger, Linda, must have been nuts when she gave it to me! Anyway, to keep things interesting I am going to be handing out awards (aka buttons) for your sidebar if you can find the patterns in my crushes. This thing kicked off yesterday. I hope you join in the fun. I’d say that my blog isn’t normally this crazy, but that would be lying. It’s just usually a different brand of crazy. Welcome to my world.
so glad you said you missedme… lol and i am now followin you too.. cant wait to learn about you and read up!
