Ingredients
  • 1 lb brown rice pasta (we used fusilli)
  • 1 lb sweet Italian chicken sausage
  • 2 C frozen peas
  • 1 jar pasta sauce (we prefer Victoria by White Linen)
  • grated pecorino romano or parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
  1. Fill a large stockpot with water, generously salt and bring to a boil. Once water is boiling add the pasta and cook according to package instructions.
  2. Heat a large skillet with deep sides over medium-high heat. Remove casings on sausage by cutting a knife down the middle of each sausage and removing the insides, discarding the casings. Place the meat of the sausage in the skillet. Using a sharp edge spatula, break up the sausage as it browns. Brown the sausage for approximately 10 minutes. Add frozen peas and marinara sauce and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the peas are cooked and warmed.
  3. Drain pasta and place in a large serving bowl, top with sauce, sausage and peas. If desired, sprinkle with romano or parmesan cheese to serve.
