Chicken Mango Sausage, Peas, Mushrooms and Pasta

No Sauce! Can you believe it? A pasta dish with no sauce- I didn't believe until I made it myself this past Saturday. I saw this recipe from The Food Network (Giada) and I wanted to try it but of course I used a few different ingredients to make itt my own. It was so simple, took less than 30 minutes to make. It was excellent as a one dish meal, great recipe for one person, or two people and even a crowd!
Here is my version of Giada's recipe:
Chicken Mango sausage, Peas, Mushrooms with Penne
- 2-3 links of Chicken Mango sausage (the mango adds a sweeter flavor to the sausage)
- bag of frozen peas
- mushrooms
- Penne Noodles
- 1 clove of garlic
- dash of lemon, salt, pepper and olive oil
1. Boil a large pot of water and cook the pasta according to the instructions on the box.
2. Remove the sausage from its casing if possible and crumble in the pan. If you can't remove it from the casing, do your best to roughly chop it. Cook through until the sausage is done. Drain the sausage.
3. In the same pan, drizzle a little EV olive oil and add the garlic. Do not burn the garlic!
4. Add the mushrooms and peas until cooked.
5. Once the mushrooms and peas are cokked through, add the cooked mango chicken sausage, cooked pasta and a little pasta water.
6. Squeeze some lemon juice into the pasta, add a dash of salt and pepper. If you are adventurous- add a little butter on the top once you put it in the bowl :)
Done. Yum. Excellent. Savory.
Great with bread on the side or a nice salad
