This is an easy weeknight pasta you can do with leftover sausage... or even chicken or probably fish too. I'd previously made beer brats and since the package comes with 5 sausages, and my fiancee and I typically only eat 3 between us, I made up this pasta to use up the rest of the sausages.
Ingredients:
2 cooked sausages (I used Beer Brats), chopped
1/2 fresh tomato, chopped
1 large or 2 small jalapenos, chopped
3/4 box Tri-Color Penne pasta (about 8 or 9 oz)
3/4 cup of heavy cream, or half and half
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
Salt to taste
Directions:
Cook pasta in salted, boiling water till tender. Drain.
In a hot skillet, add a bit of butter or olive oil and fry the jalapeno and tomato for a few minutes. Add in the sausage, fry a few minutes in the pan to get a bit crispy on the edges.
Stir in the pasta, cream and seasoning. Simmer on medium heat 5 more minutes. Pasta should absorb a lot of the cream but should leave a bit of sauce in the pan too.
Taste and add salt if needed.
Looks great!
