Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 12 oz Italian Style Chicken Sausages (cut into discs)
  • 1 cup onion (diced)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp garlic (minced)
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 8 oz uncooked Radiatore pasta (or any other small pasta shape)
  • 2 cups zucchini (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (grated, divided)
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes (halved)
  • ⅓ cup fresh basil (chopped)

Instruction

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add in the olive oil. Once hot, add in the chicken sausages and onion and cook until sausages are browned and onion is tender.
  • Season with salt, red pepper flakes and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring mixture to a boil then add in the uncooked pasta. Stir frequently, for about 10 minutes, until pasta is mostly tender, then add in the chopped zucchini.
  • Continue cooking an additional 3 minutes until zucchini is tender and most of the chicken broth is absorbed into the pasta. Stir in the lemon juice, 3 tbsp of the parmesan cheese and the grape tomatoes.
  • Remove from heat and top with the fresh basil and remaining 1 tbsp of Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
