Ingredients

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
  • Cook quinoa pasta at a boil until tender yet firm, about 8 minutes; drain.
  • In a large skillet, cook the hot Italian sausage over medium heat until browned. It will take about 10-15 minutes.
  • Add the quinoa pasta and homemade tomato sauce to the skillet. Stir well for 1 minute or so.
  • If necessary, adjust seasoning and add more olive oil to add more flavor.
  • Serve with a generous grinding of pepper, parsley and Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Feel free to use a different pasta if you prefer. Just make sure to follow the instructions on the box to cook to al dente. 
  • If you have fresh basil, it makes for a delicious swap for parsley. 
  • Feel free to swap the sausage with your favourite if you prefer a different one.
  • To store: Store the leftover sausage quinoa pasta in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • To reheat: You can easily reheat everything in the microwave. 
  • To freeze: Once cooled completely, transfer the dish to an airtight freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months.
