A wholesome and satisfying meal, Chicken Sausages with Zucchini, Tomatoes, and Pasta is a blend of protein, vegetables, and carbs, making it a complete meal that's nutritious and filling.

Ingredients

4 chicken sausages

2 medium zucchinis, sliced

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

8 oz pasta (penne or spaghetti works well)

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the chicken sausages to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from the pan and slice into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the sliced zucchini and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  6. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
  7. Add the cooked pasta and sausage slices back into the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  8. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add more vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms.
  • Use turkey or plant-based sausages as an alternative to chicken sausages.
  • Add red pepper flakes to make it spicy.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free pasta.
