Who’s down for a one pot meal? I’ve got another delicious and easy recipe for you in partnership with al fresco. Y’all know I’m a huge fan of chicken sausage. al fresco’s product is fully-cooked, so you can quickly heat it up. I always keep a package in the fridge for a healthy on-hand dinner on the fly.
When al fresco challenged me to come up with a one pan meal, I immediately thought of a pasta dish. First you brown the chicken sausage in the pot, then add broth, milk and diced tomatoes for the pasta to simmer in. Throw in some cheese at the end for a cheesy, flavorful pasta your whole family will love. I used al fresco’s Sweet Italian Style Chicken Sausage that has Italian spices and red and green peppers.
