Ingredients

For the Sun-Dried tomato Pesto

For the Sausage

For the Pasta

  • 2 packages nupasta Angel
  • 2 tablespoon shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parley chopped

Instructions

  • In a food processor add all the ingredients for the sun-dried tomato pesto and process on low for about 1 or 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a skillet add olive oil, sausages and sauté until they are cooked through.
  • Drain and rinse the Angel NuPasta with cold water for about 10 seconds.
  • Add pasta and 6 tablespoons of the sun-dried tomato pesto in the same skillet you cooked the sausages. Mix everything together to combine.
  • Heat it for about 1 minute.
  • Before serving, top the pasta with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.

Notes

  • I recommend using freshly grated parmesan cheese as it melts better into the sauce compared to pre-grated cheese.
  • Use spicy Italian sausage if you want a spicier pasta.
  • To store: Keep the pasta in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge. 
  • To reheat: You can reheat the leftovers in the microwave or on the stovetop. 
  • To freeze: You can freeze leftover pasta in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 3 months.
