Ingredients

Scale
  1. 4 chicken sausages
  2. 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
  3. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  4. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  6. 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  7. Salt and pepper, to taste
  8. 8 ounces pasta (penne or fusilli)
  9. Fresh basil, for garnish
  10. Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  • Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Cook Chicken Sausages: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken sausages and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausages from the skillet and slice them into bite-sized pieces.
  • Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the sliced zucchini and cook for 3-4 minutes, until slightly softened.
  • Add Tomatoes & Seasoning: Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes are softened and juicy.
  • Combine Pasta & Sausages: Return the sliced chicken sausages to the skillet and toss with the vegetables. Add the cooked pasta and stir everything together until well combined and heated through.
  • Serve: Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • You can use any type of pasta, such as penne or fusilli, based on preference.
  • For a spicier twist, add red pepper flakes to the vegetables.
  • You can substitute chicken sausages with turkey sausages for a lighter option.
